The popular video that is displaying that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan slapping a man during a roadshow has gone viral nowadays, prompting a demand by the Congress to register a case against him and arrest CM.

While the Congress said it showed that Chief Minister Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan's "frustration", the chief minister's public relations officer offered no comment.

"We want that CM Chouhan to be arrested for slapping his security man under section 353 (assault to deter a public servant from performing his duty) of IPC," Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Ajay Singh said.

Ajay Singh said, the result is "failed" of chief minister policies affected on his psychological state. "This frustration showed in the incident," the Congress leader said.

Senior BJP leader Dr Hitesh Bajpai said the happening was being wrongly understood.

"There was a huge crowd around CM Shivraj sing Chouhan, and the security man twice stepped on the chief minister's injured foot. In a quick human response, Chouhan only removed him to defend himself and the action was never supposed to hurt anyone with any wrong motive," Senior BJP leader Dr Hitesh Bajpai said.

In the video, an agitated Mr Chouhan is seen hitting the man with his hand while walking, surrounded by people.
