Patna : Members of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) allegedly manhandled staff of a Kingfisher Airlines at the Patna Airport on Thursday after the party chief and Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan missed a flight.

Paswan had booked a ticket in Kingfisher Airlines’ Patna-Ranchi-Delhi (IT-3335) flight, scheduled to leave Patna airport at 1740 hrs, the official said, adding, “the Minister, however, reached the airport at 1755 hrs.”
“We waited for Paswan till 1750 hrs, and when he did not report, the flight was allowed to take off,” he said.
