Ludhiana, Sept. 20 -- : Punjab Police on Saturday detained BJP leader and former Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu after he staged a protest outside Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) as chief minister Bhagwant Mann's convoy was passing through. Mann was visiting Ludhiana to release promotional material highlighting the AAP government's achievements. Later that evening, Bittu claimed police placed him under house arrest near the Ludhiana railway station and restricted all his movements. During the visit, Bittu stood near the university gate, holding a bottle of liquor toward the chief minister's vehicle. Bittu said he was "returning the bottle" to Mann, telling him to enjoy his drink while letting AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal "loot Punjab from Delhi." Bittu also displayed eggs and tomatoes, claiming they were the same items thrown at his convoy near Batala a day earlier during his journey to Madhopur in Pathankot for the BJP's Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra launch. Bittu alleged that AAP supporters attacked his convoy and damaged vehicles. The AAP has denied any involvement. Bittu was later released shortly after the incident, while the chief minister's scheduled programme at PAU proceeded without further interruption. htc...
