Jaipur: Another politico’s young brat hit the controversy in election-bound Rajasthan as the son of a minister in the Vasundhara Raje Government pulled a man out of his car on a road in Banswara district and slapped him repeatedly in a gross instance of hooliganism and misuse of power.
Though the incident reportedly happened a month back, it was caught on a CCTV camera and the video footage is making rounds on social media which erupted a major row.
In the video clip of over a minute, Rajveer, the son of junior Panchayati Raj Minister Dhan Singh Rawat, is seen slapping a youth apparently for failing to give side to his SUV at Vidyut colony in Banswara district of southern Rajasthan. His aides also damaged the window panes of the car.

“They had a scuffle but no FIR was lodged as the two sides came to a settlement. An officer was sent to the victim’s family but they refused to file a complaint”, Banswara SP Kalu Ram Rawat was quoted in a report.
Reportedly, the victim named Prerak was driving his car and Rajveer’s SUV was just behind. When Prerak did not give him side, Rajveer was provoked and once his SUV driver overtook the car, Rajveer got down and forcefully pulled Prerak out of his car and thrashed him while his aides damaged his car too. People on the road informed the police about the incident but no FIR was registered under pressure as the victim’s father is an agriculture supervisor in the state government.
