In a clear case of class privilege and sense of supremacy, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) student leader Vikul Chaprana forced a man to kneel and apologise, as the Meerut police stood by, doing nothing.
A video of the raging Chaprana using expletive words, at times using his influence as a close associate of UP minister for energy and additional sources of energy, Somendra Tomar.
A video of the incident emerged on Tuesday, October 21, where he is heard saying, “Haat jodke haan, Somendra Tomar Bhaiya hai mera” (join your hands and do it (the apology), Somendra Tomar is my brother).

The incident was disturbing to witness for many, as the police were just standing and watching as Chaprana continued to assault the man verbally. Some called the incident a misuse of influence or “power of being associated with the ruling BJP party”.

Tomar represents the Meerut South constituency and Chaprana is known to be a close aide of him as a BJP youth leader.
Meanwhile, the Congress shared the video and called for the BJP student leader’s immediate arrest. “This is the true face of BJP—where leaders see themselves as kings and treat ordinary people like insects,” read its X post.
