The BJP has not responded to the allegation yet.
Kanti Kharadi is seeking re-election from Danta in Gujarat's Banaskantha, which is among the 93 seats voting today in the second phase of the Gujarat election. He has filed an FIR against the BJP candidate from the seat, Ladhu Parghi.
He claims that he "escaped" after the alleged attack and hid in a forest for hours. He also said he had been to the hospital for treatment.
