Patna, March 21 (IANS) Supporters of Shatrughan Sinha clashed here Friday with some people waving black flags against the actor-turned-politician when he was on way to file his nomination papers.
Sinha is to contest Lok Sabha polls from the Patna Sahib seat.
His supporters attacked those who showed him black flags and beat them up, police officials said.

Later, Sinha along with his wife Poonam Sinha and his son Luv Sinha filed the nomination papers at the district magistrate's office here.
