He had reached Arrah’s Veer Kunwar Singh Stadium to address a public meeting as part of the “Badlaav Yatra”. A large crowd had gathered outside the venue, and the commotion that followed led to pushing and jostling, resulting in the injury.

Kishor was scheduled to arrive at the public meeting at 3.30 pm, but reached around 6 pm. After the injury, he reportedly experienced severe pain in his ribs and was taken to a private hospital without addressing the gathering.
