In Indore, the political scene turned tumultuous as the opposition leader from the Municipal Corporation, Chintu Chokse, found himself in legal hot water. Arrested for attempted murder, Chokse's legal battle stems from a physical altercation with BJP's Kapil Pathak.

The altercation, which erupted on a Saturday night, resulted in significant injuries to Pathak, leading to accusations being leveled against Chokse. The BJP maintains that Pathak's complaint of being attacked with a rod holds true, supported by medical reports highlighting a severe head injury.

As tensions rose, Congress decried the arrest as politically charged, with state president Jitu Patwari demanding intervention from the police. Protests ignited outside police stations, necessitating heightened security to manage the fervent crowd.
