Kushwaha himself narrated the incident on his official Twitter handle. Tagging Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Bihar Police, he claimed that some unidentified men pelted stones on his convoy. When security forces travelling with him chased them, they fled from the spot.

Sources have said that a group of people waited at the Naya Tola Mor and they also showed a black flag to him.

Following the incident, a team of Jagdishpur police station reached the spot and took control of the situation.
