Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Bihar Police have lodged a complaint of misbehavior against former chief minister Rabri Devi.
Police say the leader of the Opposition in the state hit one of them with a wooden stick on Monday. Rabri was allegedly angry with him for having stopped her son's car.
Reports say security personnel stopped her elder son, Tej Pratap's car on Circular Road when he was returning home from school. The car was not allowed to go through as the road is closed to traffic on Mondays when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar holds a Janta Durbar at his official residence, 1 Anne Marg.
Pratap then called up his residence and a number of people from there, including Rabri Devi, rushed to the place following which the dropgate was lifted and his car was allowed to proceed.
However, the incident did not end there. Rabri Devi then allegedly led an angry group of RJD supporters to the makeshift police post, protesting the traffic curbs. Police sources say what happened thereafter is unprecedented.
They shouted slogans outside the makeshift police post and even pulled down a portion of the tent that had been erected for the policemen on duty, reports news agency PTI.
Says a BMP jawan, Deepak Kumar, "Rabri Devi came to me and asked me my name. I couldn't recognise her son. Had I been able to, I would have allowed him inside. I had a stick in my hand. She took the stick and hit me."
Rabri Devi, however, denied any misbehaviour by her son and those accompanying her with the security men. Instead she has said that it was the policemen who misbehaved and used foul language.
Both Rabri Devi and her husband, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad complained that there was a 'curfew-like' scene every Monday when the Janata Durbar was held and common people had to suffer humiliation by the policemen guarding both ends of the Circular Road.
