Bhopal, October 4: : The condition of BJP Member of Parliament Virendra Kumar Khatik, who was beaten up allegedly by Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, is stable and he is out of danger, doctors said on Saturday.

The MP from Sagar was beaten up on Friday during an anti-encroachment drive near Bina railway station. He was hit by RPF personnel while protesting against the removal of encroachments from Chhoti Bajaria area, police had said.

Khatik, who suffered injuries on his head, back and a finger, was admitted to the city-based Hamidia Hospital. The MP was out of danger and has been advised complete rest, Dr D K Verma said.

Verma said there were ten stitches on Khatik's head. Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police S K Raut has asked Railway IG Mohan Rao to conduct an inquiry into the incident and submit a report within three days.

Beating of MP by raolway police by Deepak Ghanvatkar on 2008-10-04 19:12:58.72096+05:30
Sir, If this is what the police can do to a MP then imagine what will be the condition of the citizen if the tough laws are brought and police are delegated the un-controlled powers?
Congratulations Police/RPF by jay on 2008-10-04 18:36:17.831597+05:30
This is among very few good jobs our police have done. ANY politician or bureaucrat who supports encroachment deserves the same treatment. BJP must be careful to keep such mafia style leaders as their MPs. Now I am a bit scared about the law enforcement personnel who did the right thing. Naturally, they will be victimized for doing their duties.
Well Done by AYush on 2008-10-04 18:25:50.772693+05:30
I respect the police. Well deserved treatment for the corrupt and unwise politicians.I wonder if the police has courage to do this most of the time.All the best Cops.I love u
Brilliant by P Dalvi on 2008-10-04 18:18:23.002161+05:30
I think these policemen should be rewarded. MPs are scum of the earth anyway, and finally, one of them gets a proper treatment. If only the likes of Mamta, Modi, Uma, Mayawati would also get thrashed...Anyway - if I meet these policemen, I'll buy them all a beer or two
Is this good governance by UPA? by Bharat on 2008-10-04 17:25:12.525691+05:30
The common Indian people are being killed by terrorists but noe the UPA government has unleashed police forces to intimidate people that does not spare even their elected representatives. This is shameful and UPA government is forcing India from within to head towards chaos. This will bring new form of colonisation back to India - again enslaved in 21st century. The UPA government should own moral responsibilty and call for immediate elections after resigning. It has no moral authority to continue in power.

It is real fun to see such things happen. It really make me happy to see that the politicians are getting what they deserve.
Hi by Kaushik on 2008-10-04 16:00:10.547105+05:30
Hmm - I would not support BJP when it comes to defending wrongs like encroaching.

If this can happen to the a member of parliament, what would have been the position of innocentpeople caught in the communal riots, activelly supported by the politicians and passively and passively supervised by by the police in the biggest indian masscre of Gujarat 2002
Surely we can do better than this... by Anon on 2008-10-04 13:50:19.605276+05:30
