Watch | 'Fan' breaches security, kisses Rahul Gandhi during Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar

While it is unclear whether the man who rushed towards Rahul Gandhi was his admirer or a supporter, netizens have dubbed him as a "fan" of the Congress leader.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's bike rally ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, in Bihar saw several security breaches.

A video has surfaced on social media where it can be seen that a fan managed to breach security and kiss the Congress leader. He was later beaten and shooed away by security personnel present in the rally.

In the video, one of Rahul's bodyguard can be seen riding pillion on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's bike. He steps down to slap the fan and shoo him away.

People who attended Rahul's rally were seen easily getting close to him, hugging, and even pulling his hand while he was riding the bike. However, this particular instance of a man kissing Rahul Gandhi went viral.

Rahul and Tejashwi on Sunday rode motorcycles as they made their way through the streets of Araria in Bihar’s Purnea district during the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’.

The 1,300-km yatra was launched on August 17 from Sasaram. It will cover more than 20 districts over a period of 16 days, and conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1.

Netizens shared their reactions regarding Rahul's minimal security management.

A social media user said, "I hope the state government will provide appropriate security keeping in view his increasing popularity in India." Another said, "Yes, this really needs to be taken seriously. Don't forget, RSS exists. Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were assassinated."
