Got a beating for not minding his business!

-

ACoordinat­ing Secretary of a political heavyweigh­t was badly roughed up by an angry crowd on the day the posse of Policemen had to protect the chair of the august assembly.

An attempt by him to enter the chamber earlier along with his boss had been foiled. However, when the political heavyweigh­t was coming out, the man had rushed to his side and presenting himself as a protective shield, had tried to prevent others from even talking to him. Angered by his highhanded manner, some of the crowd had violently treated the man, they say.

The secretary had later protested that he was only trying to protect his boss, but his unsympathe­tic colleagues had told him,“you got what you really deserved!”
