Gandhinagar: Sons of Gujarat’s Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies, Bhikhusinh Parmar, along with the president of the Aravalli district BJP Youth Wing, have been booked in connection with an assault on a young man. The Modasa Town Police have registered a case against six individuals involved in the incident.
