Police have registered a case against a Congress MLA and his four associates for allegedly grabbing the land of a 55-year-old tribal in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district, following the direction from a local court. They were also booked under IPC sections, including 506 (B) (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy), he said. According to Kanwar’s petition, Agrawal had purchased a piece of land in Chuiya village from one Abdul Gaffar in 2010. Subsequently, Kanwar lodged a complaint with police but no action was taken, the petition said. Last November, Kanwar filed the application under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code in the court seeking action against the MLA and his associates.
