MLA attacked by group of assailants in Jaipur

Independent MLA Hanuman Beniwal was attacked allegedly by some unidentified assailants when he was going to Nagaur from here today.
"I was in my vehicle with driver and two others. The vehicle was stranded in traffic jam due to a procession of Rajput community. After few minutes, a mob of 30-40 youths attacked my vehicle with sticks," the MLA from Khinwsar Assembly constituency in Nagaur told PTI.
Windowpanes of his SUV were broken in the incident which took place near Jobner-Kalwar road.
"Probably, they were the part of the procession and attacked me at the behest of some ministers," he alleged.

The MLA said the attackers surrounded and damaged his vehicle.
Fortunately, the jam was cleared and the driver sped away, he said, adding that two people sitting with him received minor injuries.

"I will lodge an FIR tonight or tomorrow morning," he said.
DCP (West) Rahul Jain said the details of the incident was being verified.
"We are verifying whether the MLA was present or not in the vehicle when the incident occurred," Jain said.
