A day after Tejashwi Yadav’s security personnel were accused of manhandling media persons outside the Bihar Secretariat, the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister said on 13 July that he will look into the matter.

It becomes difficult for the security guards to manage the crowd when a large group of media personnel jostle for bytes, Yadav said, adding that he would personally look into the matter.

The incident occurred when Yadav was expected to speak to the media after a Cabinet meeting at the secretariat in Patna.

A reporter from ANI news agency was also among media personnel who were manhandled by security personnel of Tejashwi Yadav.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family have been in the news after after CBI raided his properties based on an FIR registered against him, his wife Rabri Devi and son Tejashwi for allegedly accepting a plot in Patna in exchange for awarding a tender for the maintenance and development of two railway hotels at a time when he was the Railway Minister in 2006.
