The BJP in Delhi held a press conference with clippings of footage showing Laloo Yadav’s car was not damaged in the attack in Vadodara but a local news channel had a different story to tell.

Footage showed something hitting and damaging the rear glass of the Railway Minister’s car when it was attacked at SSG Hospital on Thursday.

When Laloo reached the hospital, he was greeted by a slogan-shouting crowd. The footage shows plastic bags with water being hurled at the vehicle and when it started moving from the casualty ward, a small object hit the right upper corner of the rear glass, which shattered.

‘‘The glass caved in and fell on all of us,’’ said BJP MP Jayaben Thakkar, who was in the car with Laloo, his personal assistant, MoS for Railways Naran Rathwa and a DySP.

Meanwhile, officials said a railway employee who had fled after the accident was nabbed today.
