A new political controversy has arisen in Bihar as an FIR was lodged against Tej Pratap Yadav, former Bihar minister and Janshakti Janata Dal national president, at Patliputra police station in Patna following a court directive. The complaint, filed by Akash Yadav, alleges that he received death threats, supported by an audio recording. Police have initiated an investigation into the matter, with the complainant claiming the threats were made via a U.S.-based phone call.
The alleged incident, as per the FIR, occurred on June 6 when Tej Pratap Yadav and his associate reportedly visited Akash Yadav’s residence in Patliputra area. The complaint accuses them of attempting to forcibly enter the house and threatening family members present. Akash Yadav further claims to have received subsequent threatening phone calls from individuals linked to a criminal gang, warning him against speaking out against the former minister.
Tej Pratap Yadav has vehemently refuted all accusations, labeling the case as politically motivated and fabricated. In a detailed statement, he asserted that the complaint stemmed from personal vendetta, following purported legal notices regarding the complainant’s behavior. Denying the allegations, Tej Pratap emphasized his commitment to democratic values and the rule of law, expressing confidence in the judicial process to reveal the truth.
