Bhai Virendra, the RJD candidate from Patna’s Maner assembly seat, is facing legal trouble after being accused of threatening security personnel during polling duty, the police announced on Friday.
The incident reportedly involved the candidate misbehaving with a security officer who was assisting an elderly voter at her polling booth, according to Danapur-2 SDPO Amrendra Kumar Jha.
A case has been registered against Bhai Virendra for breaching the model code of conduct and intimidating an on-duty official, as nearly 65% of 3.75 crore eligible voters participated in the high-turnout first phase of the Bihar assembly elections.
