New Delhi, Apr 12: A bomb was hurled near Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's 'Jansabha' site in Nalanda on Tuesday, news agency ANI reported.

Bihar Police have detained one person in connection with a bomb that was hurled near Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's 'Jansabha' site in Nalanda.

Going by the reports, it occurred at a distance of 20 feet when Kumar was attending an event in his home district. This is the second such incident to have taken place in less than two weeks.

On March 27, a mentally unstable man had allegedly punched him on his pack during his visit to Bakhtiyarpur in Patna district. Following the incident, the Bihar police had enhanced his security.

In a similar incident, the security of Leader of Opposition in Assembly Tejashwi Yadav was breached by a youth in Patna on April 1. After his helicopter landed at the scheduled place, he was walking towards the stage when a large number of villagers surrounded him. He, somehow, managed to reach the stage with the help of his personal security guards.
