Protest Erupts Over BJP Leader Assault Claim in Muzaffarnagar
A group of over 50 people in Muzaffarnagar, India, are protesting outside the home of Sanjeev Balyan, a BJP leader and former Union minister.
They are demanding a police case and an apology from Balyan after his security guards allegedly assaulted Amit Bana, an orthopaedic surgeon’s younger brother.
