In an unusual event that took place, a man threw shoes at a political leader while he was delivering a speech in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh.
The incident took place in Agra on May 3.
Visuals showed the man standing up from his seat, throwing the shoe on the politician, and then trying to run away as a police officer caught him. Later in the video, he is seen being dragged out of the rally area by the police while locals continue to beat him.
According to reports,  a man threw a shoe at Swami Prasad Maurya, the national president of the Rashtriya Shoshit Samaj Party, during a rally here on Friday. The man, identified as Dharmendra Dhakrey, has been detained and further action is being taken against him.

A spokesperson for the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) claimed that Dharmendra Dhakrey is associated with the organization. The incident occurred this evening while Mr. Maurya was addressing a rally in support of the party candidate from Fatehpur Sikri in Dauki. Speaking to the media, ABHM spokesperson Sanjay Jaat said, “One of our members threw a shoe at Mr. Maurya while he was delivering his speech in Dauki. We were opposed to the leader over his remarks against Ramcharitmanas.”

Mr. Maurya sparked controversy by alleging that certain verses in the Ramcharitmanas, a sacred text in the Awadhi language based on the epic Ramayana, “insult” a large section of society based on caste and therefore should be banned.

“We have also written letters in blood and appealed to admit him to a mental asylum for disrespecting the Hindu saints and Ramcharitmanas,” Mr. Jaat said.

Members of the Mahasabha also threw ink at Maurya’s cavalcade and brandished black flags as it passed through Fatehabad.
