Following the incident, municipal corporation official Dhirendra Bais filed a complaint against the BJP MLA.
However, Dhirendra said before the court on Saturday that he did not see who hit him with the bat from behind. "I was on a call at the time of the incident. When I looked back, Akash Vijayvargiya, along with five others, was standing with a bat in his hand. However, I did not see who attacked me," Dhirendra said in his latest statement before the Indore court.
