Controversy Unfolds Over Incident in Rahul Gandhi's Convoy

A police constable tripped and narrowly avoided injury in front of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's convoy in Bihar's Nawada district. The incident triggered political allegations, with BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accusing the convoy of causing serious injury. Congress dismissed the claims, citing them as political manipulations.

A police constable narrowly avoided injury when he fell in front of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's convoy in Bihar's Nawada district during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'. The instance led to political tensions, with BJP accusing the convoy of negligence.

According to Nawada SP Abhinav Dhiman, the constable's foot was barely grazed by a vehicle, and an x-ray will determine the medical specifics. The situation was assessed as minor despite BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla sharing a video alleging severe injury.

Poonawalla claimed the incident painted the Congress-driven event as 'Crush Janta Yatra', criticizing Gandhi for not addressing the situation. In response, Bihar Congress spokesperson Asith Nath Tiwary labeled these remarks a tactical diversion due to the yatra's popularity.
