The Madhya Pradesh government has taken action against the accused who was seen urinating on a tribal man in a viral video. The incident is said to be of Sidhi and the accused is a BJP leader.

He further stated that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has asked to register NSA (National Security Act) against him.
When asked about 'bulldozer action' against the accused, Mishra said, "Bulldozer does not work according to Congress, it works according to law. If there is an encroachment, a bulldozer will be used."

Mishra asserted that under the BJP government, the law prevails and CM had himself asked to take action against the accused.
