'Yesterday They Threw Eggs, Today I Returned Them Bottles': Ravneet Bittu Detained After Protest Near Punjab CM Mann’s Convoy | VIDEO

Ravneet Singh Bittu, a BJP leader and former Union Minister, was arrested on Saturday by Punjab Police after staging a protest near Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's convoy. The protest took place outside Punjab Agricultural University in Ludhiana, as the convoy was en route to the Kisan Mela. Bittu displayed a bottle of liquor, eggs, and tomatoes, claiming they were left over from an alleged attack on his convoy the previous day.

This protest was in response to the incident, and Bittu warned that BJP workers would use their democratic right to protest if AAP workers continued to demonstrate against BJP leaders. Police claimed Bittu tried to throw the items at the convoy, while Bittu stated the gesture was an attempt to return the items. Prior to the protest, Bittu alleged that his convoy had been attacked by a group of people near Ghasitpura village on Friday, with eggs, tomatoes, and stones being thrown at the vehicles.

He accused the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of involvement, but these claims have not been independently verified. Bittu criticized the Punjab government and accused police of failing to ensure his security, alleging that the incident was pre-planned and that more than 200 people were involved. The incident has fueled the ongoing political tension between the BJP and the ruling AAP in Punjab.
