Bihar: Police on Saturday arrested a man after he allegedly tried to manhandle Union Minister Giriraj Singh in Bihar’s Begusarai, the BJP leader’s Lok Sabha constituency.
The accused, who was beaten up by Singh’s supporters before being handed over to the police, had come to the MP’s ‘Janta Darbar’ programme with a petition.
“The bearded man dressed as a moulvi came to me with a petition and asked me to look into it. I told him that the Janta Darbar had ended and he should have come on time. He then started shouting slogans against me. At one point, it seemed like he was going to physically attack me,” Singh said.
He claimed that the person was not speaking appropriately.
“He was subdued by the people who had gathered there and then handed over to the police,” the minister said.
Begusarai Superintendent of Police Maneesh told PTI: “The person is in police custody. We are investigating the matter.”
Later, in a post on X, Singh said he would not be scared by such attacks.
“Those who pamper these people by seeing their beards and caps, must see how love, jihad and communal tension are being created across the country as well as in Begusarai,” he said.
