Bhopal: BJP leader Jaspal Arora, who misbehaved with a Dalit doctor at Sehore District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh, has been declared as absconding, police said on Tuesday.

Talking to IANS, station in-charge Ajay Nair said that Police Superintendent Manish Kathuria has declared that Arora is absconding and has even announced a reward of Rs 5,000 for any person who gives information about Arora’s whereabouts.

“We have raided many places in search of him,” Kathuria said.
