A major incident was narrowly averted when a speeding car entered the convoy of Bihar's Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav. The incident occurred on the Ganga Setu Path while Tejashwi Yadav was returning from an event. Police reported that the youth was under the influence of alcohol and lost control of the vehicle, bringing his car dangerously close to the convoy. Upon receiving the information, the SultanGanj police station, along with the pilot vehicle, swiftly took action and arrested the youth. This incident has raised serious questions about the security arrangements for the opposition leader.
Security Lapse
The incident involving the speeding car near Tejashwi Yadav's convoy exposed shortcomings in the security arrangements. Security personnel attempted to stop the youth multiple times, but he ignored their warnings. Initial investigations also revealed that the youth was intoxicated, leading him to lose control of the vehicle and come very close to the convoy. Upon receiving the information, the police pilot vehicle arrived at the scene and took the youth into custody. This incident has raised fresh questions about the safety of the convoy.
Police Initiate Strict Investigation
The SultanGanj police station, taking into account the seriousness of the matter, has taken the youth into custody and initiated an investigation. The police are also investigating whether there was any criminal intent behind the youth's actions and if it was a pre-planned conspiracy. A medical examination of the youth is being conducted to confirm intoxication, while his car has also been seized. Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, safely reached his residence.
This incident is the second major security lapse after a truck collided with his convoy in Vaishali last month. There is concern at the political and administrative levels regarding this matter. It is now expected that the administration will strengthen security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.
