Defence Minister Rajnath Singh leaves for UP by road from Banshidhar Nagar in J'khand's Garhwa as his copter couldn't be refueled. The incident occurred following his rally in the area, as the vehicle transporting fuel from Ranchi failed to arrive due to unspecified issues.

Jharkhand DGP Anurag Gupta confirmed that Rajnath Singh left Garhwa for Varanasi by road, a distance of approximately 200 km. 

The Defence Minister reportedly waited for about an hour for the refueling vehicle before deciding to continue his journey.

Earlier in the day, Singh addressed rallies in Itkhori, Chatra, and Banshidhar Nagar, Garhwa, before the logistical hiccup.
