Coming to the Madhya Pradesh incident, after the video of man urinating on tribal youth went viral, a case was registered against Pravesh under Indian Penal Code sections 294 (obscene acts), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The opposition Congress had demanded that the BJP government in the state use a bulldozer to demolish Shukla's properties. As a result, hours after his arrest, the local authorities on Wednesday pulled down a part of a house belonging to his father. Furthermore, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday invited tribal labour Dashmat Rawat, the victim of the urination incident, to his residence in Bhopal where he washed his feet and also apologised to him.
