Rukutana lost his mind, disarmed his bodyguard and started shooting to whoever the bullet would get.
However, information later emerged that the voter he shot Mr. Dan Rwiburingi, died after being shot at.
Mr. Rukutana on Friday night lost the Rushenyi constituency NRM flag bearer slot to the strong challenger Naome Kabasharira.
He was however arrested on Saturday afternoon.
Deputy spokesperson Polly Namaye says the minister is detained at Ntungamo police station, with three of his body guards and they face attempted murder charges, among others.
“The victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition while the suspects are in detention on charges of inciting violence, attempted murder by shooting and malicious damage,” Ms Namaye said on Saturday afternoon.
