Jeenda is chairman of Sugarfed in Punjab and holds a cabinet-minister status. He lodged a complaint with the Kotwali police station in Khandwa through his gunman that some youths in an inebriated condition attacked the gunman before breaking the window panes of his car outside a restaurant in Khandwa late on Wednesday night.

Jeenda alleged that the ruling BJP orchestrated the attack on him and that he had noticed four people following him. He said the BJP has become scared of AAP’s growing popularity in MP and the attack was a result of that.

According to Khandwa Kotwali police station in charge Balram Singh, a case has been registered under sections 294, 323, 427 and 506 of IPC against four accused. He said one of the accused identified as Rahul alias Babbi has been nabbed and further investigations are on.
