A welcoming procession turned a bit hurtful for the deputy Speaker as he falls off his ride.

In Ratabari, Mallah was welcomed by his supporters and the locals who as a mark of respect had sat him on a decked-up elephant. However, the large mammal moved forward quickly, making the Deputy Speaker and the mahout to lose their balance.

Luckily, Mallah fell on a grassy area and quickly stood up with help and shared a hearty laugh with those around him.
