Nitish Kumar had recently visited Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow to attend Yogi Adityanath’s swearing in ceremony for a second term of Chief Minister of the state. 

This is not the first time when Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has been targeted. During the 2020 Bihar Assembly election when the CM was addressing a poll campaign in Bihar’s Madhubani district, a person from the audience had attacked CM Nitish with onion and bricks. CM’s bodyguard present on the stage had protected the CM back then.
