The mother of Bharat Tiwari, a 28-year-old man fatally shot by police and the Special Task Force in Bihar’s Bhojpur district, is calling for the death sentence for those responsible. She expressed her desire for justice, believing that the people of Bihar support her cause. The Bihar government has escalated its investigation into the case, utilizing scientific and judicial methods for a thorough inquiry.
Senior police officials in Bihar have confirmed the use of modern forensic techniques and scientific approaches to probe the circumstances surrounding the encounter. The investigation involves analysis by the Forensic Science Laboratory, examination of digital evidence, and scrutiny of available video footage. The police headquarters is closely monitoring the progress of the investigation to ensure transparency and accountability.
A judicial inquiry commission, led by a retired High Court judge, has been established to conduct an independent probe into the incident. This commission will review evidence, witness accounts, and the sequence of events leading to the encounter. Two separate FIRs have been filed in connection with the case, and legal actions will be based on the evidence collected during the investigation.
Authorities have identified serious lapses on the part of certain police personnel involved in the incident. As a result, five police personnel, including the Station House Officer, have been suspended, and departmental proceedings have been initiated against them. Political parties like Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and BJP have affirmed their commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent investigation under the state’s governance framework.
