Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) has accused the Nitish Kumar government of deploying 24 policemen to prevent former Bihar chief minister from enjoying mangoes and litchi from trees planted at his 1, Anne Marg bunglow.
Manjhi continues to occupy residence, designated for Bihar Chief Minister, even after being removed from the chair in February this year.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stays in a bunglow at 7 Circular road.
HAM spokesman Danish Rizwan, in a statement said, 24 policemen, including 8 sub Inspectors and 16 constables have been deployed in One Anne Marg, especially to guard hundreds of trees of mangoes and litchi fruits.
Policemen deployed on duty at former CM’s residence told reporters that they have been instructed to guard the fruits and prevent anybody picking even the fruits that fall on the ground on its own.
Rizwan described this as “insult” of a dalit.
