Tej Pratap Yadav has sought protection from Bihar government in this regard. Tej has written a letter to Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary. On this entire matter, Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary said that he has received Tej Pratap’s letter and the matter is being investigated. Meanwhile, Tej Pratap alleged that Santosh Renu Yadav extorted money from party workers and other people by promising them job and other benefits.
