The incident took place at Kharohi village in Bhachau taluka of Kutch yesterday. Later, local crime branch PSI J P Solanki lodged an official complaint of rioting and damaging private property against the mob.
In his complaint at Bhachau police station today, Solanki alleged that 40 to 50 unidentified men gathered at Kharohi cross roads to accomplish their motive and shouted slogans.
Later, one of them attacked the car and broke the windshield using some object. However, the complaint does not mention any names, neither of BJP nor of Kejriwal.
When his convoy reached Kharohi village, some alleged BJP workers were protesting with black flags, AAP Gujarat convenor Sukhdev Patel said.

"With the sticks of black flags they attacked the car of Kejriwal when he had gone there to look at the problem caused to the people due to breach in Narmada canal in the area," Patel had said yesterday.
"I have asked all the police stations in my jurisdiction to stay alert and give him protection. For the security of his convoy, we have deployed two police vehicles," Superintendent of Police (SP) Kutch-East Dipak Meghani said.
However, Kejriwal's "secretive" attitude is making police job difficult, Meghani said.
"We want to give him better protection, but, he never reveals where he is heading. Thus, local police cannot be informed well in advance. Since the model code of conduct is implemented, we cannot provide a front running escort car. But, Kejriwal is taking advantage of that situation," the SP added.
