Tiger80 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 NELLORE: Maverick BJP MP and former Test cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu allegedly pushed a security guard at a toll plaza on Tuesday and forcibly took him away in his vehicle leading to protests from the guard's family and villagers who demanded action against the MP. Sidhu was on a tour of Nellore. It all began when the guard, Chenchu Ramaiah, allegedly hurled a stick at Sidhu's car which whizzed past the Venkatachalam toll plaza at Tallampadu village in Doravarisatram mandal without showing any ID proof or payment of toll fee. This led to a crack in the windshield. An enraged Sidhu came back to the plaza, overpowered Ramaiah and another guard and bundled them into his vehicle! Plaza manager Lionel intervened and tried to pacify Sidhu. But an unrelenting Sidhu pushed him aside and sped away; shocked by the development, the staff at the plaza shouted for help. Soon, locals gathered and ran after the MP's car. Sidhu's car meanwhile zoomed towards Nellore where the MP was invited to attend a programme of Swarna Bharathi Trust, owned by senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu. On receiving information, Gudur police rushed to the trust office and rescued the two security guards. Sidhu, however, had a heated argument with the policemen and asked them to register a case against the plaza staff for attacking him and his vehicle. Senior police officers assured that they would take action after conducting an inquiry into the episode. Sources said police did not register a case against anybody following a request by Naidu. Sidhu did not stop there, though. After attending the programme, he again reached the Venkatachalam toll plaza on his way to Tirumala in the evening where he found two lorries carrying a large number of cattle. Sidhu jumped off his car and sat on a dharna on the national highway. He wanted the cops to take action against those involved in transporting the cattle to the slaughterhouse. Meanwhile, sources said that hundreds of locals also gathered at the plaza and picked up a heated argument with Sidhu over his actions earlier in the day. As the melee continued, police rushed to the spot and tried to pacify the agitated MP. An hour later, Naidu, who was travelling to Chennai, also reached the plaza and tried to calm him down. After failing to convince Sidhu, Naidu urged district SP Ramana Kumar to immediately send a team of senior officers to counsel Sidhu. Gudur DSP Suresh Kumar and inspector Srinivasula Reddy reached the spot and seized the lorries carrying the cattle. The SP also spoke to Sidhu and promised action against the cattle transporters under relevant Acts. It was only then that Sidhu relented and left for Tirumala around 6 pm. Kumar told TOI that no case has been registered against Sidhu or the plaza staff. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/off-the-field/MP-Navjot-Sidhu-creates-scene-at-toll-plaza/articleshow/11013391.cms
beetle Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 This man should be behind bars...first he killed a man and now kidnapping.
DomainK Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Not a matter of joke. We have elected this idiot as an MP.:wall:
yoda Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 First the toll plaza folks throw a stick at the car cause he drove past their booth? WTF? How about just noting down his license plate and issuing a massive fine? Also, the guy comes back and kidnaps these guys and is still free to roam around?

How about just noting down his license plate and issuing a massive fine? Also, the guy comes back and kidnaps these guys and is still free to roam around? Correct. That was plain illegal. Being an MP, Sidhu should have called the police to should have made a complaint. But kidnapping two of the guards is criminal.
akshayxyz Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Toll plaza guy was retarded that he hit the car with stick, Siddhu was retarder ..and police was retardest (promised to file a case and do inquiry, but did not file any).
zen Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 too many incidents taking place at the toll booths: * Wassan getting beaten up at the booth because he overtook a VIP convoy * toll booth guy shot by a drunk driver * toll booth guy breaks the windshield of a car (which zooms past it w/o proper showing proper id) and gets kidnapped in the process First thing is to have proper procedures in place where the toll booth guys are trained to put their safety first .... W/ VIPs acting like the way they do, ultimately its the poor guys that suffer. And it is sad to see, VIPs act the way they do. Expected better from Sidhu
punjabi_khota Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Kidnapped the toll booth guy :WTF: Reminds of the Younis Khan incident
