JJD Chief Seeks Protection After Threats
The Tej Pratap security threat has prompted the JJD chief to write to Bihar Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary. He stated, “I am in danger, that’s why I have requested protection.” Additionally, he filed a complaint at the Secretariat police station in Patna. As a result, authorities are reviewing the matter to ensure his safety. Observers noted that rising tensions within the JJD may have escalated the security threat. Furthermore, Tej Pratap informed reporters about the urgency of the issue and requested immediate government action.
Accusations Against Former Party Spokesperson
The JJD leader accused Santosh Renu Yadav, the former national spokesperson, of threatening him. Consequently, the Tej Pratap security threat became a major concern. The letter alleged that Santosh engaged in extortion and intimidated citizens. Following this, the JJD Central Disciplinary Committee expelled him on December 14, 2025 (Expulsion Letter No. 37/JJD/2025). Officials said the expulsion reinforced the need to provide adequate protection to Tej Pratap. In addition, the threats reportedly spread fear among party members and supporters.
Social Media Escalates Concerns
Even after suspension, Santosh continued issuing death threats via live videos on Facebook and YouTube. Therefore, the security threat against Tej Pratap remained significant. He urged authorities to act promptly to prevent harm. Moreover, the complaint highlighted the growing risk of online harassment for political leaders. In the meantime, Tej Pratap requested that social media threats be monitored closely to reduce future risks.
Bihar Government Prepares Response
Officials confirmed that the Home Minister is reviewing the Tej Pratap security threat complaint. Likewise, security arrangements are expected soon. Observers said the case underscores the importance of timely action in political security threats. Meanwhile, Tej Pratap’s request highlights the need to protect leaders from ongoing online intimidation. Ultimately, the government is expected to provide proper security measures to prevent escalation. Additionally, authorities noted that ensuring political safety will maintain public confidence in Bihar’s administration.
