Supporters of Youtuber Manish Kashyap, the mastermind in Tamil Nadu migrant’s row, were detained on March 23, 2023
Supporters of Youtuber Manish Kashyap, the mastermind in Tamil Nadu migrant’s row, were detained on Thursday during the Bihar bandh call given by them protesting against his arrest and demanding his release. In many districts they blocked the national highways and also hampered the traffic movement in Patna.
Mr. Kashyap’s supporters burnt tyres and blocked Bihta-Aurangabad road and shouted slogans against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The Youtuber is charged with creating panic by spreading fake videos on social media about Bihari migrants being allegedly attacked in Tamil Nadu.
The protesters led by president of Rashtriya Jan Jan Party (RJJP) Ashutosh Kumar assembled at Patna’ Kargil Chowk. There was a programme of the Chief Minister nearby but police detained all of them before they could start the protest.
In Jehanabad, the protesters blocked the Gaya-Patna NH-83 and in Nalanda the supporters blocked several roads. In Vaishali district, a long queue of vehicles was seen on Hajipur-Lalganj road. In Jamui and Shiekhpura district, protesters were seen holding placards demanding his release. Several protesters also demanded a CBI probe in the entire matter.
Later, Bihar police lodged cases against many supporters under different Sections of the IPC for blocking the road and damaging public property.
The bandh call given by Mr. Kashyap’s supporters did not make any major impact and emergency services were not hit either.
Investigations by the Economic Offence Unit (EOU) have revealed that most of the videos circulated on social media were fabricated and fake. One of the videos in which Bihari migrants were shown with injury on the forehead was shot in Bengali Colony of Jakkanpur locality in Patna. The shooting of the video took place on March 6 and was posted on social media on March 8.
