Neemuch: A man's unique protest in Madhya Pradesh has both amused and stunned the Internet.

Mukesh Prajapati, a resident of Kankariya village in Madhya Pradesh, took an unconventional approach to stage a protest against the village sarpanch, whom he accuses of corruption.

A video captured Prajapati crawling and rolling on the road while wearing around 1,000 paper documents to draw attention to his complaints, which he claims are supported by evidence.

Prajapati later told reporters that he has been highlighting his grievances against the sarpanch of Kankariya for the past six to seven years, but no action has been taken by the authorities.

He planned this protest for a Tuesday, as public hearings are conducted on that day in the premises of the collector’s office in all MP districts, where senior officials look into grievances and complaints raised by citizens.

Sub-Divisional Magistrate Mamta Khede told news agency PTI that Prajapati had previously complained against the sarpanch, and that the Panchayat and Rural Development department had already conducted a probe into the allegations.

Following the protest, a fresh investigation will be conducted on the district collector’s direction, Khede said.
