Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had a narrow escape from getting hit by a plastic chair that a man hurled at him in Aurangabad on Monday.
Nitish Kumar reached the Barun block to inaugurate the panchayat building, and attend a programme there, when a chair fell in front of him.
Security personnel quickly gathered about the Chief Minister and took him away after the event. The local police started the investigation to identify that person who tried to attack Nitish Kumar.
Earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar visited Rohtas district as well and reviewed the government projects.
He also met viral girl Saloni in Rohtas and appreciated her effort of creating awareness against liquor consumption.
Saloni sang for the Chief Minister a song in Bhojpuri on the consequences of liquor consumption.
She came into the limelight when she sang the song in her school last year.
Liquor has been banned in Bihar since April 2016 but is still available illicitly and a large number of people died of drinking spurious or poisonous liquor.
One such incident recently occurred in Chapra district when more than 100 persons died in January this year.
