Congress Rebel Naresh Meena Surrenders After Bail Cancellation in SDM Assault CasePreviousNext

Naresh Meena, a Congress rebel leader accused of slapping an SDM during the 2024 Deoli-Uniara Assembly by-election, surrendered at Tonk's Nagar Fort police station after his bail was cancelled for violating conditions. The Special SC ST Court remanded him to judicial custody amid tight security and prohibitory orders to prevent unrest. Meena and his supporters allege political motives behind his detention, while authorities cite his bail violation and ongoing legal proceedings. The case stems from a protest against alleged voting irregularities during the bypoll.
