Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan apologised to the tribal victim of the Sidhi urination incident and washed his feet on Thursday.
After a video, in which a man can be seen urinating on a tribal labourer, emerged and triggered widespread outrage, police arrested the accused Pravesh Shukla. He was said to be an aide of BJP MLA Kedarnath Shukla, who has since denied it.
On Thursday, the Chief Minister invited the victim to his official residence in Bhopal, washed his feet and touched his own forehead with the water. After apologising to Mr. Rawat, the CM referred to him as Sudama, Lord Krishna’s poor friend in Hindu scriptures.
