After the video gained attention on social media, one person, identified as Mohammad Sifat, who was spotted in the clip was arrested.

Reacting to the incident, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed the Nitish Kumar government. He said that the incident showed “Taliban Raj” in Bihar. Taking to his official X account, the RJD leader said, “Me and my party talk about the rights and share of Dalits, backward and minorities, hence the casteists always see our rule as Jungle Raj.”
BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya took to X and also reacted to the incident. While taking a jibe at Tejashwi Yadav’s comment on the same, Malviya questioned, “Do those who talk of Taliban rule call Muslims Talibani even before asking for their votes?”
According to police, as quoted by India Today the incident took place in Araria’s Islamnagar and a case was filed on Tuesday under Section 109 (attempt to commit murder) and Section 117(4) (grievous hurt caused by a group of 5 or more persons) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
