Hooda was addressing a gathering at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of a railway over-bridge when the man tossed the footwear at him, police said. The identity of the attacker was not immediately known.


Second attack
On February 2, Hooda was assaulted by an unemployed youth, Kamal Mukhija, at a busy market in Panipat when the chief minister was proceeding to a rally venue in an open jeep. The youth was arrested but let off later by police saying he was under depression.
