Supporters of JD(U) MP Ajay Kumar Mandal on Wednesday allegedly thrashed two local journalists in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district.<\/p>\n
The incident happened when the two journalists, identified as Kunal Shekhar and Sumit Kumar, were filming videos of the MP’s car outside the Bhagalpur aerodrome, police said.<\/p>\n
Agitated by journalists filming videos, Mr Mandal allegedly hurled expletives at them. And then, his supporters allegedly thrashed the two journalists.<\/p>\n
The journalists had gathered at the airport on hearing reports that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s helicopter could land there.<\/p>\n
Later, a complaint was filed with the police over the incident.<\/p>\n
“Yes, a complaint was received in connection with the incident. An inquiry has been ordered into the matter,” a police officer said.<\/p>\n
Mr Mandal could not be reached for comments despite repeated attempts.<\/p>\n
His party, the JD(U), said there was no place for such incidents in a democracy.<\/p>\n
“All pillars of democracy must be equally regarded. Since he is an elected representative, he should have shown patience,” JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar told PTI.<\/p>\n

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav in a post on X said, “JD(U) MP is abusing and beating journalists. Despite that journalists have not declared it Jungle-Raj in Bihar. BJP leaders are also maintaining a stoic silence as they are enjoying the fruits of power with the JD (U).” “When regional parties talk about the welfare of Dalits-OBCs-Minorities-Poor and deprived, the news of ‘Jungle-Raj’ starts coming in the media. Anarchy is at its peak in Bihar. The CM is clueless,” he added.<\/p>\n
