A woman from New Delhi was escorted out of the office of Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary following an altercation that escalated during a meeting at the Civil Secretariat, Srinagar. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, drawing attention from witnesses, including several Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).
As per sources, Priya Mishra, a cannabis activist, reportedly sitting in the Deputy Chief Minister’s office started recording the interaction between Choudhary and other attendees after a heated argument over some issue. According to officials, when Choudhary noticed her recording, he requested her to stop. Mishra allegedly refused to comply, leading to tensions in the room.
Witnesses has told officials that the situation escalated when Choudhary attempted to take her phone, resulting in minor bruises to Mishra’s hand. This prompted the Deputy Chief Minister to call upon female police constables to assist in escorting her out of the office.
After the incident, Mishra claimed she had been assaulted and sought medical attention at SMHS Hospital. She initially lodged a complaint against the Deputy Chief Minister but later chose to withdraw it. In a show of restraint, Choudhary also decided not to pursue any action against Mishra for her disruptive behavior during the meeting.
