Amidst protest in Bihar against Citizenship Amendment Act called by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of Lalu Prasad Yadav, several videos have gone viral showcasing the acts of vandalism by the protesters.
In one such video from Bhagalpur, a man with RJD flag can be seen giving an interview to a reporter.
In the video the man can be heard claiming about the peaceful nature of the protest. However, just a minute into the video the man can be seen charging towards an auto-rickshaw with the supporters with lathi in their hands, trying to break the window panel of the vehicle.
Even as he is in the middle of the interview, the man runs with lathi, and shouts of “maar, maar” (beat him, beat him) can be heard.

Earlier in the day, in Darbhanga, RJD workers and supporters protested bare chest, sloganeering against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and central government, reports The New Indian Express.
Reportedly, the protesters blocked the highway by burning tyres while at Vaishali, the highway was blocked by the RJD workers with the help of buffaloes.
In Darbhanga, party supporters also protested at the railway line and disrupted train movement.
It should be noted that the call for Bihar Bandh on Saturday (21 December) was given by RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav a day earlier.
