Raipur/UNI: A local court on Tuesday remanded Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s father Nand Kumar Baghel to 14 days’ judicial custody on charges of vitiating social harmony.

A first information report was registered on Sunday under sections 153A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code at the DD Nagar Police Station on the basis of a complaint lodged by two members of the Brahmin community in the wake of a video – containing Nand Kumar’s statement – going viral.

The Chief Minister’s father stands accused of an intention to promote feelings of enmity or hatred between different classes of people.
