A complaint has been filed against Sanjeev Kumar Raya, Chairperson of the Local Road Consumers’ Committee by Nabin Chaudhary, 30, of Jaleshwor, Mahottari correspondent of AP 1 Television.
The complaint was filed after the accused had taken the communication devices of the victim and deleted the video he had captured. The victim journalist lodged a complaint at the District Police Office on May 27, 2021, demanding for justice.
It is alleged that the victim was misbehaved by Raya after he took a video of Raya’s team pitching a road that was in poor condition. The road is in Pataili of Jaleshwor Municipality-5.
The road here was pitched on May 26 and the next day it had already collapsed. Therefore, the journalist had taken a photo and a video but Raya snatched his mobile phone, deleted the photo and video and also misbehaved with him.
