Congress rebel leader Naresh Meena surrenders in Tonk after bail cancellation

Congress rebel leader Naresh Meena, accused of slapping a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) during the Assembly by-election at Deoli-Uniara in November 2024, surrendered at Nagar Fort police station in Rajasthan’s Tonk district on Thursday following the cancellation of his bail. His bail was cancelled last month on the ground of violation of conditions.

The police produced Mr. Meena, 45, in the court of the Special Judge (SC/ST Atrocities) in Tonk, which remanded him to judicial custody. A large number of Mr. Meena’s supporters raised slogans outside the police station and the court, while the administration imposed prohibitory orders to prevent any untoward incident.
