Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's gunman and driver were allegedly attacked by a five-member group in poll-bound Kerala's Wandoor, police reportedly said on Saturday.
A case has been registered, and one person is currently in custody, according to Wandoor Police.
Tharoor confirmed the incident, stating he was untouched and his security guard is well.
The incident occurred at Chellithode near Thiruvali in Wandoor at around 7.30 pm on Friday, when Tharoor was on his way to attend an election campaign event.
Police officials said the accused blocked the MP's vehicle, and when the gunman attempted to clear the obstruction, he and the driver were allegedly attacked.
One person was taken into custody late Friday night, and the remaining accused were identified, police said, adding that they will be apprehended soon.
