Rahul presents new motorcycle to man who lost two-wheeler during 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'
Patna (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi presented a man from Bihar's Darbhanga district with a new motorcycle after his two-wheeler was lost during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'.
The party shared on its X handle a video of Shubham Saurabh, who narrated his story, proudly flaunting the keys to his motorcycle, handed over by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha himself.
"When Rahul Gandhi took out a bike rally in Darbhanga, I had lent my motorcycle to security personnel accompanying him. I was distraught to learn later that my bike was misplaced," Saurabh said.
"Two days ago, I received a telephone call from someone not known to me. He said Rahul Gandhi wanted to present me with a new motorcycle in Patna on September 1," he added.
The youth shared the news with his father. Though they were both incredulous to begin with, they decided to visit the state capital on the day Gandhi wound up 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' with a march.
They were asked to wait at the Income Tax Roundabout, where the Congress leader, on his way to Gandhi Maidan, made a brief stopover to hand over the keys to the youngster.
"I am happy to get a brand new motorcycle, the same model as the one I lost. I am touched by the gesture coming from such a senior leader," Saurabh added.

Hoax bomb threat emails spark security alert at Karnataka government offices; no explosives found
Karwar/Tumakuru: Government offices in three Karnataka towns were placed on high alert on Tuesday after bomb threat emails were received by the tahsildar offices in Karwar and Bhatkal, and the deputy commissioner’s office in Tumakuru.
According to a report published by Deccan Herald, police officials said all three emails originated from a single email ID and contained claims of “revenge from Tamilians and Pakistanis.” Following the threats, security agencies immediately swung into action and the premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched.
Teams from the local police, bomb disposal squad and dog squad were deployed at all locations. Authorities have confirmed that no suspicious objects or explosives were found. They called the threats a hoax, after extensive checks.
Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police Deepan M N said precautionary measures were taken as per protocol to ensure public safety. “A detailed search was conducted at all the mentioned offices, but nothing incriminating was found,” he said.
Police have begun efforts to trace the source of the emails and identify the sender while security around key government buildings in the affected districts was heightened as a precaution, officials added.
