BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and IAS officer and Deoghar DC Manjunath Bhajantri were on Saturday embroiled in a heated exchange of words on Twitter days after Dubey was arrested with MP Manoj Tiwari for forcing Air Traffic Control to give clearance to his chartered flight from Deoghar after sundown. Deoghar airport has a no-flight policy after sundown.
Later in the day, in a show of support to Dubey, the BJP released a series of documents against Bhajanti including an order from the Election Commission dated December 2021 initiating disciplinary proceedings against him. Dubey and Tiwari, along with Dubey’s two sons took a flight from the Deoghar airport on August 31. In response, Dubey filed a zero FIR against the IAS officer in Delhi.
