PATNA: A team of Patna Police allegedly manhandled the guards of former CM Rabri Devi outside her residence, claimed her security personnel. The alleged incident happened on Thursday outside Devi's official residence at 10 Circular Road.

As per the claims of the security personnel, some job aspirants and party MLAs and MLCs came to the residence to meet Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav.

At the same time, a team of Patna's Secretariat police reached there and forcibly tried to evict them.

"Some job aspirants and party workers were scheduled to meet to Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday. They were standing inside the barricading. Still, an ASI-rank officer along with some police personnel tried to disperse them," claimed a security official. "When we objected to the actions of Patna Police, they threatened us and used abusive language against us including women security personnel," he further claimed.

RJD state spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan told IANS that a meeting of MLAs and MLCs was scheduled at the former CM's residence. "Hence, it is obvious that a gathering would take place but they were not disrupting traffic movement," Gagan said. "People who are not satisfied with current government generally come here in expectation of getting their their problems addressed," added Gagan. (IANS)
