A man tried to punch Union Minister Giriraj Singh at a public event in Bihar's Begusarai today. The incident happened when Mr Singh was conducting a Janata Darbar at his home constituency, around 125 kilometers from state capital Patna.
When the minister was wrapping up the event, the man seized his microphone and tried to punch him. However, the party workers and security personnel present intervened to save the firebrand leader.
"When I was leaving the event, the man took the mic forcefully and started behaving as if he was going to attack me. He started raising 'Murdabad' slogans. I am not afraid of such attacks, "the minister said in a video message.
