Be it taking a tumble on a road while riding a cycle or taking bath at the home of a Dalit in Bihar's Mahua, the elder son of former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav keeps hogging public attention.

Last week, Tej Pratap took out a 'cycle yatra' in Patna to protest against the rising petrol and diesel prices across the country. He, however, might not have anticipated the embarrassment that he would have to face. While riding the cycle with his aides, Yadav suddenly gained pace. Just as he was about to take a turn at the roundabout, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

As his aides and security men around him rushed to his help, an embarrassed RJD leader quickly got to his feet. Several people present at the spot recorded the video on their mobile cameras and the footage of which was widely shared.
