In Haryana, Congress MLA Devender Hans and others have been booked for allegedly attempting to give a toy, referred to as 'jhunjhuna', to the local Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Pramesh Singh, during a protest last month. The incident, which was reported by the SDM, has raised concerns about the obstruction of government duties and has been described as disrespectful towards the official. During the protest, which took place outside the SDM's office, MLA Hans led the demonstration concerning unauthorized expansions by local shopkeepers, particularly on Pihowa Road.

The police have filed an FIR based on the complaint by the SDM, who claims that this act was not only an obstruction but also caused humiliation. Alongside the MLA, a local journalist is also named in the FIR, indicating the complexities of reporting in politically charged situations. The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Kuldeep Singh, has indicated that the role of the journalist will be examined further, suggesting that there may be developments pending the investigation.

This situation reflects the ongoing tensions between local politicians and bureaucratic officials in India, especially concerning governmental processes and local governance. As the inquiry progresses, it will be important to monitor the reactions from the political community and the implications for civic engagement, as the incident underscores the challenges faced by public officials when dealing with public dissent and protests.
