A son of a BJP MLA in India sparked outrage after allegedly slapping a toll plaza employee during an altercation over unpaid toll fees at the Raybha toll plaza on the Southern Bypass in Agra. The incident occurred when Suresh Chaudhary, son of Fatehpur Sikri MLA Chaudhary Babulal, was traveling in a vehicle flagged as belonging to an MLA without a FASTag, which is required for toll-free passage.
