Former BJP MLA Bhawani Singh Rajawat was sent to a 14-day judicial custody on Friday allegedly for obstructing a forest officer from carrying out his duty.

Mr. Rajawat was booked under section 332, 353 of the IPC, both related to obstructing an officer from carrying out his duty, and section 3 of SC/ST Act.
