The MLA had gone on a sudden inspection of the office on Thursday and the JE, on duty, finding Das’s car blocking the road to the office, got it removed from there, sources said.

This angered Das’s supporters and they reported the matter to him, they said.

The BJP MLA was seen in the video-clip scolding the engineer, who then touched Das’s feet in apology.

Das, however, denied before the media later that the JE touched his feet in apology. PTI
