Chandigarh: : Nine persons -- including a member of the local civic body -- were arrested in Haryana today after a CCTV footage purportedly showed them beating up a toll plaza employee.
The toll booth is located on the Rothak-Delhi road in Jhajjar district.
Police said Sampla municipal committee chairman Sudhir Kumar, who is also reportedly a local leader of the BJP, had refused to pay the toll tax for his car and misbehaved with the toll booth employee Feroze Khan last night.
Later, he called in his friends and they beat up Mr Khan.
The footage shows two men standing at the door of the booth, repeatedly slapping and punching Mr Kumar, who fell and then tried to barricade himself with a chair. The men then beat him up with a steel rod and eventually dragged him out.
Mr Kumar's assailants also misbehaved with the security guards and vandalized the toll booth, the police said.
All the arrested men are residents of Sampla, in Rohtak district, the police said.
