Rahul Gandhi’s car hits policeman during ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’

A police constable sustained injuries on Tuesday after he was struck by a vehicle carrying Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav during the ongoing 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's Nawada district. The incident occurred amidst heavy crowds that had gathered to welcome the political procession, highlighting the security challenges of the massive rally.

The unfortunate event unfolded when the constable's foot became trapped beneath the vehicle as it moved through the throngs of people. Security personnel reacted swiftly to the situation, immediately working to free the injured officer and move him to safety. A video of the incident, which has since gone viral on social media, shows the immediate chaos and the quick response of the security team to extract the constable from the vehicle's path.

In a show of personal concern, Rahul Gandhi immediately enquired about the officer's condition. He was visibly relieved upon being informed that the constable was stable and not critically injured. The accident briefly paused the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', which commenced on August 17 and has been drawing large crowds across the state.
