MP: Man who stomped lover’s face arrested, govt bulldozes house

A day after a video went viral where a man brutally assaults his girlfriend when she asked him to marry her, the office of Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Chouhan responded by bulldozing the man’s house.
The 24-year-old accused – Pankaj Tripathi – has been arrested by the police. A driver by profession, the government has also cancelled his license.
The chief minister’s office tweeted, “In the incident of vandalism with a girl in Mauganj area of Rewa district, the criminal Pankaj Tripathi was arrested and a bulldozer was fired at his house. Driver Pankaj’s license has also been cancelled. No one who commits atrocities on women on the land of Madhya Pradesh will be spared.” A bulldozer can be seen bringing down Pankaj’s thatched house.
