I am a soldier’s son, not a Chara Chor’s: Kashyap

At the same time, the anger of the YouTuber was also seen during his appearance in the Patna court in the month of September. In anger, Lalu had vented his anger on the family. Manish had said, “I was silent for 6 months, but now this is too much.” I am made to sit between a bald person and a drug addict. They blow on my face. I start having a headache but these people (police) do nothing.

Manish had said that one day we will form the government and show how the government is run. An attempt has been made to bend me, but I am a soldier’s son, not a fodder thief. I will not bow down before these people. This handcuff has been handed over to an honest man. My grandfather fought in the war with China, my father fought in the war with Pakistan.

Let us tell you that the Economic Offences Unit had registered 4 cases against Manish. In two of these cases, Manish Kashyap appeared in Patna Civil Court in the month of August. The first case was of making viral the fake video of beating of Bihari labourers in Tamil Nadu and the second case was of using derogatory words, the video of which had gone viral.
