The chief secretary and his escorts were driving towards the Babupara MLA quarter when they asked Sevananda to give way for the chief secretary to overtake. On Sevananda’s refusal due to lack of space the escorts jumped down from their vehicle and threatened to beat up Sevananda after pushing him out of the way.
