Outside the farmhouse, a significant uproar ensued as JD supporters protested Kumar's detention, alleging that he was targeted due to suspicions of voting against Nitish Kumar.

According to ABP News reports, Sanjeev Singh said that he was kept in the police station for two to 2.30 hours without the knowledge of the reason.
