RJD leaders including Tejashwi Yadav detained during Patna protest march

The RJD delegation was detained during a march towards Lok Bhawan in Patna as tensions escalated at the Income Tax chouraha intersection. Police forces, anticipating a breach of existing barricades, used water cannons to contain the advancing crowd of protesters. The action marked an escalation in crowd control measures typically employed during large political demonstrations in the state capital. The detained leaders were held as authorities maintained restrictions on movement towards the principal seat of the Bihar government. The detention came amid heightened political activity in the state, with the RJD spearheading what appeared to be a significant show of strength. The exact duration of their custody and the specific demands raised during the march were not immediately clarified. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions between opposition parties and the state administration over access to government installations and the right to stage demonstrations.
