PATNA: JJD president Tej Pratap Yadav lodged a complaint at the secretariat police station in Patna on Friday against Akash Yadav, the former president of the RJD student wing, and seven others, accusing them of plotting to kill him. He confirmed that the complaint has been officially registered, with the names included in the FIR, and alleged that there have been repeated attempts to defame him, as reported by news agency ANI.
After filing the complaint, Tej Pratap Yadav said, “Efforts have been made to tarnish my image from the very beginning. My father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, is unwell, and this is a conspiracy to kill my father and me. Akash Yadav wants to get me murdered.” He further claimed that the alleged threat could be linked to a broader political conspiracy. “It’s possible that he (Akash Yadav) wants to get me murdered in collusion with the opposition.”
Yadav then demanded immediate security for his protection. He added, “We have also filed an application in court regarding security. If we have to meet the Chief Minister, we will meet him.” Tej Pratap Yadav also alleged that unidentified persons had recently entered his residence and escaped before they could be caught, which he said heightened his security concerns.
This development comes amid ongoing political tensions in Bihar, with Tej Pratap Yadav being a prominent figure in the Janata Dal (United) party. The complaint has raised eyebrows in political circles, with many speculating about the underlying motives. The police have registered the FIR and are investigating the matter.
Tej Pratap Yadav urged authorities to take the threat seriously and ensure his safety. He reiterated that the conspiracy is aimed at eliminating him and his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is currently unwell. The opposition parties have yet to comment on the allegations.
