BJP MLA Surendra Singh and some of his party's leaders allegedly tried to misbehave with a district inspector of school (DIOS) at an official meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia.
The incident, a video of which was circulated, took place Saturday in the presence of the district magistrate.
In the video, the MLA is purportedly seen getting agitated with DIOS Narendra Dev Pandey and moving towards him, and the education officer being allegedly pushed by a BJP leader.
