Bhopal: Under flak for allegedly kicking a boy, Madhya Pradesh minister Kusum Mahdale today denied the incident saying it was actually a "drunk youth" who tripped on and fell on her feet, even as Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan appealed for "sensitivity" towards others in the backdrop of the controversy.

The Animal Husbandry Minister, who is in the midst of the row after a video clipping purportedly showing her kicking the boy went viral, clarified that the boy in question was a 20-year-old youth who was "highly" drunk and lost his balance and fell on her feet when she was returning from a programme at Panna bus stand area.
