The man narrated h🏅is problem to Jain, but when the latter allegedly did not gave him the desired attention, the man banged a documents file on the table and threw his mobile phone, a portion of which hit the ADM who got angry.
The official the🙈n allegedly shouted at the man and later a security staff al꧟so slapped him, sources said, adding that he was later taken out of the collector's office and asked to leave.
