“Eight persons were arrested for pelting stones at the CM and 20, including women, for showing black flags,” Rewa zone IG Umesh Joga said.

MP BJP media in-charge Lokendra Parashar said a window pane on the driver’s side was damaged. The CM and the BJP indirectly blamed opposition leader Ajay Singh. “Not a single Congressman is involved... this is a conspiracy,” Singh said.
