According to reports, Tej Pratap had come to the RJD office on January 26 along with his close aides. As the news spread, some local wrestlers too came to the party office to meet him.

At Tej Pratap's persistence, his supporters arranged for a 'dangal' at the party office in no time. During the 'dangal', five local wrestlers showed their wrestling skills to the RJD leader one by one.

During the 'dangal', Tej Pratap even asked his supporters and the RJD workers to fight with the wrestlers. However, no one came forward to take on the challenge thrown by the local wrestlers.
