BANSWADA: Bharatiya Janata Party MLA, Dhan Singh Rawat's son Raja, who thrashed a man, on 1 June, on Tuesday expressed regret and said that he did it in a fit of rage.

He said, "I had expressed regret that day itself and again express regret today. The incident had happened in a fit of rage. Even husband-wife fight but patch up later."

Raja thrashed the man after he allegedly did not let Raja's vehicle's pass by. The incident took place on June 1 in Banswara's Vidyut Colony.
