AGRA: A BJP MLA in Mathura allegedly slapped a toll plaza staffer after his car’s path was accidentally blocked for a few seconds by the boom barrier, almost three years after his son and supporters were caught on camera thrashing employees of the same booth over a similar gaffe. That time the boom barrier had accidentally touched the roof of the vehicle, leaving the MLA and his aides furious.
After the Saturday evening incident, Pooran Prakash, BJP MLA from Mathura’s Baldeo constituency, alleged that he lost his temper as an ambulance was stuck in a traffic jam on Agra-Delhi National Highway-2 due to closure of three out of seven lanes at the toll plaza and “the staff was not doing anything about it”.
