In Madhya Pradesh's Singrauli district, Indigenous farmer Indrapal Agariya was killed on September 1, 2024, when a tractor allegedly owned by local BJP leader Lale Vaishya struck him while transporting illegally mined sand through his field. Agariya had objected to the tractor's presence, leading to a confrontation. The incident has drawn criticism from the opposition Congress party, which alleges ongoing violence against tribal communities linked to the ruling BJP. Legal action is pending.
