A security incident occurred in Punjab involving the convoy of BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu. According to reports from the leader's office, the vehicle was targeted by protesters who threw eggs and tomatoes at the convoy. The security team accompanying the leader managed to apprehend three individuals during the altercation.

Following the incident, representatives for Bittu alleged that the detained protesters have links to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). While the physical details of the attack—the use of eggs and tomatoes—are consistent across the reporting, the political motivation remains a point of contention. The incident highlights ongoing political tensions in the region, though no injuries were reported in the immediate aftermath of the confrontation. As of now, official statements from the Aam Aadmi Party regarding the alleged affiliation of the protesters have not been provided, leaving the claim of political coordination as an unverified assertion from the BJP side.
