The authorities in Bharatpur have intensified security arrangements in view of the proposed “Mahap-anchayat” on Monday at Kumher town by scion of ex-royal and former MP Vishvendra Singh. The administration has given conditional permission for the gathering but have also imposed precautionary measures. Mr Singh had called the “Mahapanchayat” to discuss about a book authored by Rao Raghuraj Singh,who is member of the former royal family. Mr Singh said it has tarnished the image of the erstwhile rulers. The issue turned ugly when a group of Mr Singh’s supporters protested at a hotel run by Rao Raghuraj Singh and an unknown assailant fired on the crowd.
