According to the information, Rohini Acharya reached the booth with her supporters and behaved rudely with the voters there. After which people protested strongly. Seeing the situation becoming serious, Rohini Acharya left from there. After this, again a dispute arose between the two parties. During this time firing was done. Seeing the serious situation, senior officers including DM and a large number of police forces have been deployed near Bhikhari Thakur Chowk. According to news channel Aaj Tak, an eyewitness said that a large number of people had gathered from both sides carrying sticks and rods. During this time firing took place and 3 people were shot.

BJP candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy had won the last Lok Sabha elections from Saran Lok Sabha seat of Bihar. This time Lalu Yadav made his daughter Rohini Acharya, who lives in Singapore, a candidate from RJD. There was a lot of war of words between Rohini Acharya and Rajiv Pratap Rudy during the election campaign. Now perhaps the district administration of Chhapra had no idea that the matter would become so serious after voting on Monday. At present the police is investigating the matter and the search for those who fired is going on.
