Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia was on Saturday safely evacuated from a bee attack during a function in Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri district after those around him formed a cordon and used handkerchiefs and towels to provide cover. Videos of the impromptu rescue act at Chandpatha Lake in Madhav National Park went viral on social media.

The Union minister’s security personnel took immediate action, formed a cordon around him and used handkerchiefs and towels to provide him cover from the bees, said Kotwali police station official Kripal Singh, who was also injured in the incident.
