Jan Suraaj convener Prashant Kishor visited the family of a six-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted and killed in Darbhanga. During the visit, Kishor criticized the Nitish Kumar-led government for the breakdown of law and order, labeling it as a “Jungle Raj of officers.” He expressed serious concerns about women’s safety in Bihar, highlighting the lack of security for girls and the prevailing lawlessness in the state.
Kishor raised issues regarding the police’s handling of the situation, accusing them of targeting those seeking justice instead of holding officials accountable. He mentioned the arrest of six individuals and the atmosphere of fear created by police raids in the area. Kishor emphasized that public safety is primarily the responsibility of the police and criticized the lack of action by public representatives in supporting the victim’s family.
The Jan Suraaj movement leader emphasized the importance of prioritizing children’s safety, education, and employment for Bihar’s future security. Kishor urged the government to focus on punishing the actual culprits promptly instead of taking harsh actions against protesters. He criticized the administration for its insensitive response to public outrage, which he believes is exacerbating public insecurity in the state.
