An FIR was registered against Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar and 11 others in Madhya Pradesh’s Barwani district on a complaint by a villager alleging the misuse of funds collected for managing educational facilities for tribal students by diverting them for “political and anti-national agenda”, police said on Sunday.
Ms. Patkar has dismissed the allegations against her as “wrong”, saying she had a full account and audit of the expenses and hinted at political reasons behind the allegations.
