Man Tries To Throw Slipper At Nitish Kumar, Arrested

The man, who allegedly tried to fling his slipper towards Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, was arrested.

Patna: A man today allegedly tried to fling his slipper towards Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at a public interaction programme in Patna but was arrested by the police.

The incident occurred when the man, who incidentally goes by the name of Nitish Kumar, came to meet the chief minister and hand over his request at Janata ke Darbar mein Mukhya Mantri programme.

As the accused, a resident of Arwal district bent down to take off his slippers, he was immediately caught by a posse of security men.

Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj told reporters the youth has been arrested and taken to Sachivalaya police station for detailed questioning.

It emerged that the man had created ugly scenes earlier too at the 'Janata Darbar' programme of senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi recently.

The grievance of the youth was not very clear but officials said he was apparently angry over the state government's recent advisory against use of fire for cooking and hawan etc between 9 am to 6 pm to curb increasing incidents of fire.
