Village Under Heavy Police Presence
The situation is tense. To manage the crowd and avoid any conflicts, police officers, including the Superintendent of Police (SP) and other senior officials, have gathered with additional police and paramilitary support. Samarwata village is now heavily guarded to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Naresh Meena’s Explanation
Naresh Meena shared his side of the story in a video. He said he had been peacefully protesting for two hours when he saw the SDM allowing three people, who he believed were the SDM’s own employees, to vote without permission. This upset the public, who felt it was unfair. Meena mentioned that the situation is under control now but asked his supporters to make sure everyone votes. The area is currently under heavy police watch to maintain peace during the voting.
