MLA booked for ‘singing’ raunchy songs

Bhagalpur: An FIR has been registered against JD(U) MLA Narendra Kumar Niraj, alias Gopal Mandal, for allegedly singing Bhojpuri songs with a double meaning at a programme in Bhagalpur district, police said on Thursday.
In a video which has gone viral, the multiple-term Gopalpur MLA was purportedly seen belting out Bhojpuri numbers with double entendre and pasting a currency note on the cheek of a dancer at the March 10 function organised ahead of Holi.
PTI, however, could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
The Naugachia police under Bhagalpur division registered a case on March 12 based on a report submitted by sub-inspector Surendra Singh.
Despite repeated attempts, neither the Naugachia superintendent of police nor the MLA could be reached for comments.
Mandal was in the news a few years ago when he moved around in his undergarments on board a Rajdhani Express.
The Bihar police recently ordered a crackdown on bawdy Bhojpuri songs, calling these a "burning social problem" that "imperilled women's security", besides having a "pervasive effect on the psyche of children". PTI
