A leader of Bihar’s ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) was assaulted by a crowd, including women, outside the women police station of Rohtas district on Thursday.
He was identified as Mod Narayan Singh, President of the JD-U’s labour wing in Rohtas. He molested a woman inside his home and also threatened her with serious consequences outside the women police station.
Superintendent of Police, Rohtas, Ashish Bharti said, “We have received a complaint from the victim. The matter is currently under investigation. FIR will be registered after the investigation.”
The police said that the woman was called by Narayan Singh for some household work in his official residence in Dehri town, locked the door as soon as she entered, and molested her. She managed to run to the roof and shouted for help. A large number of neighbours assembled outside and rescued her.
As the woman went to the police station to file a complaint, he along with his 2 personal bodyguards chased her and managed to intercept her outside it and threatened her with serious consequences but she slapped him several times.
Seeing a woman slapping a man, passersby came to her support and thrashed the three. The JD-U leader had to run into the women police station to save himself.
