Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Mamta Khede said Prajapat had come with a complaint against a sarpanch, and the Panchayat and Rural Development had already conducted a probe into the allegations levelled by him. Following the protest, a fresh probe will be conducted on the district collector's direction, Khede said.
