″Thumka Lagao Or Get Suspended”: Tej Pratap Yadav’s Order To Cop Sparks Row

RJD leader Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, while celebrating Holi with party supporters on Friday, ordered a police official in uniform to dance to a song, warning that he would be “suspended” if he refused.

"Ay sipahi, ek gaana bajayenge uspe tumko thumka lagana hai (I will play a song, and you have to shake a leg), Tej Pratap said, pointing to the cop, adding if he doesn't dance, he could be suspended. "Bura na mano holi hai (don't feel bad, it's Holi)," the former Bihar minister further said.

The cop complied, briefly dancing in the middle of party workers.

Tej Pratap, son of RJD supremo Lalu Yadav, also participated in ‘kurta faad,’ where people’s clothes are torn after applying colour on them. A video from the event shows his supporters forcefully tearing a man's pants and pushing him to the ground, despite his protests.
