Patna: Former Bihar minister and older son of Lalu Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav’s latest tryst with a cycle, during a protest, began well, but soon ended with a tumble on the road that was captured by multiple cameras.
The 29-year-old RJD leader's "cycle yatra" was aimed at highlighting rising diesel and petrol prices.
The video clip, which has, since then gone viral shows Tej Pratap Yadav cycling in a large group and suddenly zooming to the front, perhaps egged on by supporters.
His security men on bikes can also be seen speeding up after him. So do some from the media.
Soon enough, some RJD men start shouting and sure enough, their young leader is sprawled on the road after hitting a car.
Tej Pratap can be seen getting back on the bike, but looks unhappy. He seemingly doesn't want the cameras around him, and looks upset that his fall was on camera.

Only last month, Tej Pratap tweeted a teaser poster of his upcoming movie 'Rudra - The Avtar', which is his debut into Hindi films after a Bhojpuri film.
The poster shows Tej Pratap in a pair of aviators and is captioned: "Coming soon".

Notably, Tej Pratap was health minister of Bihar before Chief Minister Nitish Kumar dumped RJD and revived his alliance with the BJP.
