Jadeja had reached SP office in Gandhinagar in support of 55 TET passed youth who are demanding recruitment. The agitators were protesting outside the State secretariat campus gate. They were detained by the police and taken to SP office compound. Yuvrajsinh Jadeja had reached there along with his accomplice Dipak Zala. Gandhinagar SP Mayur Chavda informed that Jadeja had abused and assaulted the policemen present there. Only 2-3 policemen were present there initially but Jadeja went back to his car and tried to flee after more personnel reached there, he added. Jadeja allegedly dragged one of the policemen on his bonnet for a few meters after he tried to stop his car. Victim constable Lakshman Vasava said, he was sure that Yuvrajsinh would not drive over him and therefore he went in front of the car to stop him.

Jadeja has also been booked under section 332 for causing hurt to a public servant on duty.

Yuvrajsinh is one who would source the details – sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes partially right – of paper leak and copy cases in recruitment exams conducted by the State government for job vacancies and share them with media. Though he is an AAP cadre, he at times would do such activism independently. As he crossed the line of law possibly in heat of a moment, that too in a police campus, he is now facing imprisonment.
