An FIR has been registered against Dharchula MLA Harish Dhami under Sections 121, 132, 191(2), 324(2) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for allegedly vandalising the inauguration stage of the Jaujlibi fair a day earlier, which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Harendra Singh, in-charge of Jaujlibi police station, said the FIR had been registered in connection with the incident. “I have registered the FIR as it is my responsibility to take cognisance of any criminal incident occurring within my jurisdiction,” the police officer said.
Meanwhile, BJP workers today burnt an effigy of Harish Dhami in Dharchula and raised slogans against the Congress MLA. “The programme of Randhun singing and the boycott of the stage events of the fair have been withdrawn as the police administration has itself registered an FIR and taken cognisance of yesterday’s incident, which occurred when the Chief Minister had arrived at Jaujlibi to inaugurate the traditional fair,” said Mahendra Singh Budiyal, a BJP leader from Dharchula.
