New Delhi Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi was at the receiving end of a flying shoe at a rally in Vikasnagar in Uttarakhand on Monday afternoon while addressing a poll rally.

The shoe flew past him and the offender was seen taken away by security officers. Gandhi was heard requesting the security not to beat up the man.

Shoes seem to be flying thick and fast in Uttarakhand this poll season with one thrown last Saturday at Team Anna in Dehra Dun.

Arvind Kejriwal was addressing the gathering at Lord Venkateshwara Hall when a shoe was aimed at him. But it missed him, as well as social activists Kiran Bedi and Manish Sisodia who were also on the dais.

The Uttarakhand police arrested the attacker Kishan Lal, 35.
