The Patna district administration on Tuesday registered a first information report against Union minister and Janata Dal (United)’s Lalan Singh after a video widely shared online showed him urging supporters to prevent “a few leaders” from leaving their homes on the polling day in Bihar.
The purported video showed Singh addressing a campaign meeting in Mokama, where he is heard telling the crowd: “There are a few persons. Don’t let them step out of their homes on polling day. Keep them packed inside.”
It was unclear when the comments were made.
“If they make too much fuss, take them along and let them cast their vote,” Singh said in the video. “Tell them, ‘Come with us, vote, and then go home and rest’. So, from today, everyone take charge.”
The “few leaders” Singh was referring to were Opposition leaders, according to reports.

The Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal shared the video on social media accusing Singh of attempting to suppress votes and running a “bulldozer over the chest of the Election Commission”.
Following the criticism, the Election Commission issued a notice to Singh, seeking an explanation within 24 hours, NDTV reported.
The Patna district administration said that an FIR has been filed against Singh under sections of the Representation of the People Act and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure in 2024.
Mokama is a town in Patna district.
The polling in the Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and November 11. The counting of votes will take place on November 14. The model code of conduct is in force in the state.
The code is a set of guidelines issued by the polls panel for political parties, candidates and governments to follow during an election. It sets guardrails for speeches, meetings, processions, election manifestos and other aspects of the polls.
