No one is above law: Chhattisgarh CM on case against father

Bhupesh Baghel

Raipur police have registered a case against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's father Nand Kumar Baghel, 86, for allegedly making derogatory comments against a community, an official said on Sunday.

‘Sarv Brahmin Samaj' has alleged that he recently appealed to people to boycott Brahmins by terming them as foreigners, and also asked people to "evict" them out of the country, an officer said.

The CM said his father's comments have come to his notice and he is pained by it. "Nobody is above the law in my government even if he is the CM's 86-year-old father," the CM said, adding that an appropriate legal action will be ensured by police in this regard.
