A day after the staff at the Bhuni Toll Plaza in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut assaulted an Indian Army jawan, the National Highways Authority of India has taken strict action against the booth operator and imposed a fine of INR 20 lakh on the collecting agency. "NHAI has imposed a penalty of Rs. 20 lakhs on the toll collecting agency, M/s Dharam Singh and has initiated the process of terminating & debarring the toll collection firm from future participation in toll plaza bids," the NHAI posted on X. On August 17, the jawan, identified as Kapil Kavad, was pinned to a pole and beaten at Bhuni Toll Plaza on the Meerut–Karnal highway while on his way to rejoin duty in Srinagar. Chilling videos shared on social media show several toll employees attacking him and restraining him against a pole. Following this, outraged villagers attacked and vandalised the toll plaza. However, the police mediated and brought the situation under control. Meerut: Bhuni Toll Plaza Vandalised by Villagers Following Assault on Army Jawan Kapil Kavad, 6 Accused Arrested (Watch Videos).
