New Delhi: RJDchief Lalu Prasad's son Tej Pratap Yadav has threatened to ‘skin’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Union home ministry downgraded his security from 'Z plus' to 'Z' category. 

Lalu described Tej Pratap's remarks as the "natural outburst" of a "hounded father's angry son". RJD's ally Congress also defended Tej Pratap, with the party's working president in Bihar Kaukab Quadri saying the Centre's move had "provoked" him to make the statement.

An FIR was lodged against Tej Pratap at Parliament House police station following a complaint by BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma. The Centre decided to downgrade Lalu's security, which essentially means withdrawing the NSG's black cat commandos, after a review meeting of intelligence agencies on Friday on threat perception to VIPs.
