Video: Nitish Kumar Puts Fish In Tank, Crowd Loots Them When He Leaves

Officials tried to stop the crowd, but could not.

They smelled something fishy... and pounced on it. 

An inauguration by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Bihar's Saharsa witnessed pandemonium after a horde of people looted a fish tank as soon as he left, with some of the attendees even saying they were at the event not for the politician, but to ensure that they could have a fish party.

Mr Kumar was in Saharsa on Friday to lay the foundation stone for some government schemes. He dedicated a Maa Vishhari temple to the people and then visited Amarpur in the district, where an exhibition had been organised by various government departments. One of the exhibits was a Biofloc tank - which is used in fish farming - and the chief minister was asked to put some fish in it, in addition to the ones that were already there.
