A Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) worker was allegedly thrashed and beaten by state Health Minister and party member Tej Pratap Yadav on the suspicion of being a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) 'agent'.

The worker, Sanoj Yadav, was invited to an Iftar party where he was allegedly manhandled by Lalu Prasad Yadav's son.

A weeping Yadav told ANI, "Even I don't understand what happened. I have been working for Lalu with utmost dedication for years. I have known Tej Pratap since he used to go to school. But today when I went to an Iftar party, he suddenly came out of his room and accused me of being an RSS agent. I was even threatened to kill."

Sanoj further said that he even tried to apprise Lalu Yadav about the matter, but nothing was done about it.
