RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav's security guard sent to police lines for dancing in uniform during Holi celebrations.
A constable posted as security guard of RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav was on Sunday (March 16, 2025) sent to the police lines for dancing in uniform during Holi celebrations at the residence of the former Bihar Minister.
According to a statement issued by the office of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) on Sunday (March 16, 2025), "Constable, Deepak Kumar, posted as security guard of MLA, Tej Pratap, is sent to police lines for dancing in uniform with immediate effect. Kumar will be replaced by another constable in the security of the MLA."
The RJD leader found himself at the centre of a fresh controversy on Saturday (March 15, 2025) when the constable (posted as his security guard) was commanded by the former Bihar Minister to perform a 'thumka' (pelvic thrust) or face suspension. The lurid drama unfolded at the official residence of Mr. Yadav, the elder son of former Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, during holi celebrations.
One of the videos of his revelry that has gone viral on social media show the Hasanpur MLA regally seated on a sofa, placed on a make-shift stage, holding a mike.
"Ae sipahi, ae Deepak, abhi ek gana bajaenge jis par tumko thumka lagana padega. Nahin lagaoge to tumko suspend kar denge. Bura na maano Holi hai (Hey policeman Deepak.....we are going to play a song on which you shall perform a pelvic thrust. If you do not, you will suspended. Don't mind. It's Holi)," Mr. Yadav can be heard as saying before a musical band bursts into a devotional song that is often played during the festival of colours in Bihar.
The policeman did not seem much offended as although he did not break into a 'thumka', he nonetheless obliged Yadav by hopping a few times with his right arm raised high in the air.
In a style reminiscent of the 'kapda faad Holi' that his father used to organise, Mr. Yadav tore off clothes of supporters who poured in to greet him, and also drove a scooter on the streets adjoining his house, screaming "Happy Holi Paltu Chacha", a taunt obviously aimed at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has aligned with and dumped the RJD twice.
