Vitthal Radadia, a BJP parliamentarian representing Porbandar Lok Sabha constituency in Gujarat, has been seen kicking an old man in a musical event in in his constituency.

In a video that surfaced on social media and immediately went viral, the MP is seen repeatedly kicking an old man.

As the video gained popularity on social media platforms, local news channels too started airing the clip.

However, there has been no confirmation about the date and location of the incident, but according to sources, it occurred in a musical event in a village in his constituency.

Radadia had sparked controversy back in October 2012 too, after brandishing a gun at a toll booth employee when he was asked to pay toll tax.

Radadia was earlier with Congress but joined the BJP in the run up to the last national polls in 2014. His son Jayesh is also a BJP legislator in Gujarat and currently a junior minister of tourism in the Gujarat government.
