Youth hurls shoe at Haryana CM

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Mahendergarh (Haryana), Aug 22: A youth who claimed he was frustrated over government's failure to give him a job and compensation for an injury allegedly threw a shoe towards Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda during a rally today.
However, the footwear hurled by 21-year-old Shakti Singh, who was seated behind the press photographers gallery, fell short by about 70 feet from where Hooda was addressing the public gathering at ITI grounds, about 150 km from Delhi.
Singh, a resident of a village in Baniyani in Hooda's home district Rohtak, was thrashed by villagers sitting next to him as he tried to run away after throwing the shoe. He was later taken into custody by the police and detained for questioning.
