Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi's convoy was attacked allegedly by RJD workers near Chaksikandar in Vaishali district, on Tuesday.
Officer in-charge of Bidupur police station Ritesh Mandal said that some unidentified persons threw stones at Sushil Modi's car when he was on way to the village on Tuesday evening.
Preliminary information suggest some minor damage to the car but there was no injury to Sushil Modi who proceeded on his onward journey to attend the funeral rites of the mother of BJP ex-MLA Achutanand Singh.
His escort party informed the police about the incident, Mandal said.
The incident took place a few minutes after RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's son and now the Leader of Opposition Tejaswi Prasad Yadav's caravan had passed through the area to Samastipur to launch the second stage of his programme against disintegration of the Grand Alliance government from tomorrow.
The area is a strong-hold of the RJD, whose members are particularly angry with Sushil Modi for levelling a series of allegations of corruption against Lalu Prasad and his family – the incident appears to be a fallout of this.
