However, Paswan denied any wrongdoings and said the police must first check the videos of the incidents thoroughly. He further alleged that the Opposition is trying to tarnish his image in the political arena.

"I have not looted anything while I was in the hospital. Why will I do that? No MP will ever do that. The SSP must first check the footages that they have received of the incidents. It's a conspiracy by the opposition to tarnish my image in the political circle," he said while speaking to ANI.
