Special Investigation Teams (SIT) has been formed to investigate the case.
According to police officials, the policeman was immediately overpowered by the security personnel and was placed under suspension on December 15.
This incident came to light after Madhya Pradesh's former Advocate General and Rajya Sabha member, Vivek Tankha took to Twitter and condemned the incident.
"A Police man loads his rifle to fire at Kamal Nath ji in Chhindwara airstrip. Is this politics of hatred. Should be condemned in strongest terms". (sic) Tankha tweeted.
