As the MLA’s convoy approached from behind, he reportedly delayed giving way due to the road being narrow. The MLA allegedly photographed the vehicle and lodged a complaint with the police.

Following the complaint, police summoned the youth to the station and seized his vehicle. The man later claimed he was warned that his vehicle would be released only after he approached the MLA.
