Live Hindustan reported the body of the missing youth was found in Beur about a week ago. The villagers were angry about the incident and blocked the Patna-Gaya main road near Sohgi of Gaurichak. Meanwhile, the convoy of Nitish Kumar was passing through the area. Seeing this, the villagers allegedly started throwing stones at the vehicles.

The incident comes hours after RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said Kumar could emerge as a "strong candidate" for prime minister in 2024 if opposition parties agreed to consider him for the job, said on Sunday.

Kumar, who recently swapped alliance partners by dumping the Bharatiya Janata Party and returning - for a second time - to the Rashtriya Janata Dal-led Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, enjoys "immense goodwill" on the ground, Yadav.
