A Youth Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district has alleged that unidentified persons attempted to kill him by trying to run him over with a speeding Bolero SUV in the Mangawan police station area. Police have registered the complaint and initiated an investigation into the incident.

Prakash Tiwari, President of the Mangawan Assembly Youth Congress, submitted a written complaint at Mangawan Police Station late on Wednesday night, claiming that the attack was premeditated and linked to his activism against alleged illegal activities in the region.

Leader Alleges Deliberate Attack

According to Tiwari, the incident occurred while he was returning home when a Bolero vehicle, allegedly fitted with black window films and without a registration number plate, approached him at high speed.

He alleged that the driver deliberately attempted to hit him with the intention of causing fatal injuries. Tiwari said he managed to escape in time, preventing what he described as a serious attack on his life.

He claimed he could not identify the occupants of the vehicle but believes the incident was planned.

Links Incident to Complaints Against Illegal Activities

In his complaint, Tiwari said he has been actively raising public issues in the constituency and has repeatedly lodged complaints against alleged illegal liquor trade, corruption, and other unlawful activities.

He further claimed that police had previously conducted raids and seized illegal liquor based on complaints submitted by him. According to Tiwari, those actions had led to disputes with certain individuals, which he believes may be connected to the alleged attack.

Supporters Accompany Leader to Police Station

Following the incident, Tiwari, accompanied by his supporters, reached Mangawan Police Station and demanded a fair investigation.

He urged police to identify those involved, take strict legal action against the accused, and ensure his personal security in view of the alleged threat to his life.

Police Begin Investigation

Mangawan Station House Officer Pushpendra Mishra confirmed that the police have received the complaint and initiated an inquiry into the matter.

He said the allegations are being examined from all angles and that further legal action will be taken based on evidence gathered during the investigation.

Police have not yet confirmed the identity of the alleged vehicle or its occupants. Officials said the facts surrounding the incident will become clear only after the investigation is completed.
