Dindori (Madhya Pradesh): In a shocking incident, former district president of Dindori, Ranjita Paraste was seen beating a government official with slippers. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media. In the video, Paraste can be seen demanding the officer to withdraw money from the government treasury through a fake bill and when her demand was not met, she started beating the SDO with slippers and also made an allegation of molestation against him.
The incident was reported on Friday.
Ranjita reached office with fake bill
Actually, Ranjita Paraste had reached the district office with a fake bill of evaluation for the drain construction going on in Gram Panchayat Katigahan and instead of the work worth Rs 2 lakh, she wanted to get a payment of Rs 4 lakh. That's why she had brought some other contractors with her. She misbehaved with the officer doing the evaluation of the work and when the SDO called the engineer doing the valuation of the work on phone, Ranjita took off her slippers and started hitting SDO Pankaj Parihar.
SDO attacked with slippers
Talking about the incident, SDO Pankaj Parihar said that he had no idea that Ranjita Paraste would attack him with slippers. He said that he neither recognized Ranjita nor was this matter in his knowledge. He was just trying to get information about the matter when Ranjita attacked him. Pankaj Parihar said that the allegation of molestation leveled against him is also false. Parihar added that he has spoken to his senior officers and will now complain about this matter to the police.
Notably, belonging to the tribal community, Ranjita made headlines during her tenure in 2018 as well, when she had beat another SDO with slippers.
