Majhi denied having hit the home guard intentionally and said police had misbehaved with him.
There was some jostling when the police tried to stop us. I did not hit anyone intentionally,” Majhi said.
The BJP Bengal president Dilip Ghosh said the home guard was slapped and it was the right thing to do.
A case has been registered at Entally police station against Majhi.
