4 Woman, A Man Detained For Creating Ruckus At UP Minister's Office: Police

The minister claimed the incident was "sponsored" and termed women's outrage part of a "conspiracy".

Four women and a man were taken into custody Monday for allegedly causing a commotion at the camp office here of Uttar Pradesh minister Anand Swaroop Shukla and "misbehaving" with him, police said. The minister claimed the incident was "sponsored" and termed women's outrage part of a "conspiracy". One of the protesting women, however, alleged the minister himself "hit a woman on her head with a shoe" and got them thrown out of the premises with the help of his supporters when they had gone there with their grievances on the release of grant money for school students. The women also alleged BJP workers present at the camp office "misbehaved" with them.
