Ex-Minister Accused of Assault, Casteist Abuse in Traffic Incident

A former government official in Jharkhand, India, is in trouble.

His bodyguards, who are members of the police, say he hit them and used mean words, including insults about their caste.

This happened because of a traffic jam.

The bodyguards filed a police complaint.

The former minister denies everything, claiming he did not hit anyone.

The police are now looking into the accusations, and the police officers' union is upset, saying this kind of behavior is not okay.
