BJP's Ravneet Bittu detained after waving liquor bottle, eggs at Punjab CM Mann's convoy
Protesting an alleged attack on his convoy near Batala, Bittu claimed he was “returning” eggs and tomatoes while targeting AAP over governance.
Ravneet Bittu, a BJP leader and former Union Minister, alleged on Friday that his motorcade was attacked by over 100 AAP workers near Batala in Punjab while en route to attend his party's anti-drug yatra in Pathankot. The assailants hurled stones and eggs at the cavalcade, damaging two escort vehicle windows and a jammer vehicle, according to Bittu.
The attack reportedly occurred when his motorcade slowed down, and local police were said to have taken no action, which Bittu accused. He expressed frustration with the lack of response from the local police and demanded accountability from the Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, and the state DGP. Bittu informed reporters that he would report the incident to the Union Home Ministry, emphasizing that he would hold Chief Minister Mann and the DGP responsible if harm befalls him or his companions. So far, his security team has apprehended three individuals linked to the incident.
