Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi today alleged threat to his life after a liquor bottle was found under a plant at his heavily guarded residence here.

Some media persons, who had assembled at his residence to meet Hindustani Awam Morcha leaders, noticed a liquor bottle under a plant in the open. Manjhi, who continues to live at 1, Anne Marg - the official residence of Bihar Chief Minister even after his replacement, said it was a huge security failure.

"If a person could enter the campus with a liquor bottle then bombs could also be brought in. I am facing a threat to my life and I have said this earlier also," he said. Manjhi alleged that it could be a conspiracy of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to give him a bad name.

"The place where the bottle was found is frequented by us. At times we also sit there. It is a mystery that the bottle suddenly appeared there," he added. Manjhi on several occasions has asked people, especially those belonging to Scheduled Castes, to refrain from consuming liquor.
