Former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) ​president Kanhaiya Kumar's convoy has been attacked by unidentified people in Bihar's Begusarai district. 

According to reports, a few people have been injured while several vehicles vandalised in the attack which took place near Dahiya village of Kanhaiya Kumar's home district.

The attack comes a day after Kanhaiya Kumar and many of his supporters were booked on charges of assaulting a junior doctor and a security guard of AIIMS in Patna and snatching the doctor's cell phone.

The First Information Report (FIR) against Kumar and his supporters was lodged at Phulwarisharif police station in western Patna on a complaint by the association of AIIMS doctors, Phulwarisharif SHO Mohd Qaiser Alam said.

Alam said "the doctors' association said in its complaint that Kanhaiya, along with about 100 others, had visited the hospital Sunday night to meet an old associate admitted there."

"The complainants have alleged that they beat up an intern on duty and also thrashed a security guard who came to intervene," the SHO added.

Kanhaiya Kumar is likely to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha election from Begusarai constituency as a CPI candidate.

Begusarai, once considered a Left bastion, is currently represented by senior BJP leader Bhola Singh, who defeated RJD's Tanveer Hassan in 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
