He also expressed regret to the victim for the act and said that watching the video had caused him much distress and pain.
“My heart is filled with pain; Dashmat ji this is an attempt to share your pain. Also, I apologize to you. For me, only people are god,” CM Chouhan wrote after meeting the victim.
Notably, the accused Pravesh Shukla (30) was seen peeing on Rawat in a viral video of the incident.
