Similar dissent was observed in Kaman,Deeg district,where locals protested against Zahida Khan,expressing dissatisfaction with her tenure as Minister of State in the Rajasthan Government. During these protests,Jalees Khan faced the brunt of public anger,necessitating a swift evacuation from the site due to escalating tensions. The situation grew volatile as people chased the car,chanting slogans against Zahida Khan's husband and pelting stones at the vehicle,causing damage to the rear glass.
Further controversies emerged when Congress party observer Nadeem Javed visited Kaman.
