Ravneet Bittu detained after throwing eggs, tomatoes at Punjab CM Mann’s convoy

BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu staged a symbolic protest outside the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana on Saturday, carrying a liquor bottle, eggs and tomatoes ahead of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s arrival for an event at the university. He was detained after the protest by the police.

Bittu reached Gate No. 8 of the PAU grounds and held up the items, describing them as a “gift” for the chief minister. His protest came a day after he alleged that his cavalcade was targeted with eggs and tomatoes while he was travelling to Pathankot for the BJP’s ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra’.

Bittu arrived outside the venue shortly before Mann was scheduled to reach the PAU grounds. Holding a bottle and tomatoes, the BJP leader made remarks targeting the Punjab government and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal.
