On Thursday, Rakesh sustained injuries after a jeep driven by Naresh rammed into him when he was on his way home on a two-wheeler near the battalion. Differences cropped up between Rakesh and Naresh after Rakesh exposed wrongdoings and irregularities in the battalion. Naresh reportedly nursed a grudge against Rakesh and rammed into his two-wheeler with the jeep with the intention of killing him.

Rakesh was immediately shifted to Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) and was undergoing treatment. The incident created a flutter in the town. It is learned that some officials were committing irregularities in transfers, allocation of duties, permissions, construction works, fuel consumption, purchase of medicines and welfare activities. The officials were reportedly demanding bribes to perform their duties.

Rakesh and some other staffers are alleged to have lodged complaints with higher authorities, seeking a probe into the irregularities and growing corruption among officials of the battalion. An inquiry is already under way into the wrongdoings and graft.
