Bhubaneswar: Police arrested Congress MLA Santosh Singh Saluja’s son, Seji Singh, in connection with an alleged fight at a cinema hall in Kantabanji in Odisha’s Balangir district on Wednesday night.
The police booked the legislator’s son under Sections 384, 506 and 353 of the IPC and various sections of the Arms Act.
According to sources, some people created a rumpus inside Alishan Cinema Hall at Kantabanji a few days ago. Seji was also present at the cinema hall during the ruckus and was involved in an argument with the police during the ruckus.
A purported video of the incident went viral on social media recently.
Sources said that some miscreants entered the cinema hall on Wednesday and allegedly attacked its owner’s son. “The assault on the cinema hall owner’s son is the fallout of the ruckus caused by some people at the theatre a few days ago,” said a source.
Notably, a video of the Congress MLA’s face-off with Balangir Collector Chanchal Rana had also gone viral on social media some days ago.
