Indore (Madhya Pradesh): BJP removed Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) state secretary Shubhendra Gaud and working committee member Nayan Soni from their posts, two-day after BJYM activists had clashed in front of their state president Vaibhav Pawar at a restaurant near Bhanwarkuan Square.
Shubhendra and Nayan were removed from their posts within hours of giving an explanation to the party about the incident.
BJYM city president Saugat Mishra, who was beaten up severely during the clash, had also been asked to explain. He was given clean chit.
On Saturday afternoon, Saugat was thrashed by Shubhendra and his supporters at a restaurant at Bhanwarkuan Square.
The whole incident took place in the presence of BJYM state president Pawar. Even Pawar was manhandled during the clash.
The video of the incident had gone viral, after which Saugat and Shubhendra were summoned to the party office by city president Gaurav Ranadive on Saturday itself.
The following day, Ranadive on the instruction of senior state leaders had issued notices to Shubendra, Nayan and Saugat seeking to know about their roles in the incident. Around 20 prominent leaders from the city had conveyed to the state leadership that strict action should be taken in the incident.
Within hours of receiving the replies of Shubhendra and Nayan, the party removed them from their posts.
