Rajasthan minister's nephew booked for scuffle at hotel in Jaipur

Jaipur: Police here have filed two FIRs in connection with the alleged ransacking of a hotel and a scuffle there, booking a state cabinet minister's nephew in one of them, an officer has said.

The other FIR was filed on the complaint of Harshdeep Singh, a nephew of cabinet minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawa, they said.

Khachariyawas told reporters that his nephew was not involved in any scuffle.
Videos of the incident surfaced on social media on Thursday.

According to police, the incident occurred at the County Inn hotel in Vaishali Nagar here on Wednesday night when Singh along with a few others got into an altercation with hotel guests and staff over a petty issue.
