Sources claimed that the arrested youths intercepted the Bolero pickup van on NH road while it was on its way towards Nagaon from Tezpur. Charging overload, they demanded a bribe of Rs 20,000 from its driver. However, amidst the ongoing negotiations, the driver cleverly devised a plan and informed the local police, resulting in the arrest of both youths.
It was reported that the arrested fake MVI official Rittik Kashyap was expelled from the district unit of the All Assam Students’ Union a couple of months ago on charges of financial anomalies.
Meanwhile, speaking to some local media persons after their arrest, the youths denied the allegations, stating that the driver of the pickup van was involved in a road mishap and that they had only demanded compensation for the damage done.
