When the duo along with other party workers reached there, an altercation broke out with Avantika and BJP workers.
“My car was attacked by Avantika and her supporters and the vehicle’s glass had broken. When we reached my officer located at Rori Bazar, Avantika and her supporters barged into my officer and attacked us,” Naveen Kedia said.
Avantika alleged that the Congress workers had misbehaved with her and her daughter outside the polling booth. She alleged that Congress workers were instigated by Naveen Kedia, his son Naman and Rajan Mehta to misbehave with her and her daughter.
Sirsa police spokesperson Surjeet Singh said that a Special Investigation Team has been formed led by DSP Subhash Chandra to investigate the entire case.
“Cross FIRs have been registered and the police will question both the parties,” the spokesman added.
