High drama was witnessed outside the Patna residence of Tejashwi Yadav on Friday morning after the RJD leader left his home to meet kin of victims in the Gopalganj triple murder case.
The Bihar Police stopped the RJD leader for violating lockdown while scores of supporters stood outside Tejashwi Yadav’s residence, in violation of social distancing norms.
“There is no house arrest order against me. Lockdown is only for MLAs while criminals are allowed to move freely,” Tejaswi Yadav said as he waited in his vehicle outside his home.
The Rapid Action Force, meanwhile, remains deployed outside Yadav’s house as his supporters raised slogans against the government
Strict security arrangements were put in place by the Bihar Police after Tejaswi Yadav on Thursday announced that he will travel to Gopalganj in the triple murder case.
Tejashwi Yadav had on Tuesday set a two-day deadline for the Bihar government for taking action in the shooting case, failing which the RJD leader said a march will be taken out from Patna to Gopalganj.
The RJD leader had demanded action against JD(U) MLA Amrendra Kumar Pandey alias Pappu Pandey for his alleged involvement in the firing in which three people were killed and an RJD activist sustained injuries.
