He further alleged that after not getting a ticket in the Lok Sabha elections, he was assured that he would get a ticket from the Mahagathbandhan in the 2020 assembly elections, but he did not get a ticket in the assembly elections either. After hearing the case, Chief Judicial Magistrate Vijay Kishore Singh  on Saturday directed Patna SSP Upendra Sharma on September 16 to register a FIR against all the accused in the Kotwali police station.

Janata Dal (United) has hit out at RJD after the Patna court directed registering of FIR against Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti. Former minister and JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar tweeted in Hindi, "It is said that results of anything bad is bad. The arms of law are very long.Those who trade tickets for money in the RJD...don't know how low can they stoop."

कहा जाता है बुरा, का परिणाम बुरा, ही होता है। कानून के हाथ बहुत लम्बे होते हैं|
वंशवादी राजद पार्टी में पैसे के बदले टिकट का धंधा करने वाले अब राजनीति को पता नहीं किस निम्न स्तर तक पहुचाएंगे।
एक कहावत है‘अपने जोगी नंगा तो का दिए वरदान’
राजद और काँग्रेस पर सटीक बैठता नजर आ रहा है।

However, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has dismissed all allegations leveled against Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti. "The person who has alleged that Rs 5 crore was given to Mahagathbandhan leaders is mentally unstable. The complainant wants to gain cheap popularity by leveling baseless celebration against Mahagathbandhan leaders", said RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari RJD.
