A police constable suffered a minor injury during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Voter Adhikar Yatra in Nawada, Bihar. The incident occurred when the constable accidentally tripped and fell in front of a vehicle in Gandhi's convoy, which slightly brushed his feet.

Rahul Gandhi promptly attended to the injured policeman, offering him water and a seat in his vehicle. The episode was captured on video and later shared by various social media users, including BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who criticized Gandhi's actions.
