Injured youth in critical condition

The firing incident took place outside the government residence of Bihar Minister Ashok Chaudhary, near the residences of the Governor, Chief Minister, a High Court judge, and the Leader of the Opposition. The location also falls on the regular travel route of the Chief Minister, underscoring the severity of the breach.

Reacting sharply, Tejashwi Yadav said that today, a crime occurred right outside his residence. “In the demon rule of NDA, criminals protected by the government roam fearlessly. In this high-security zone - near Raj Bhavan, the CM’s residence, the Leader of Opposition’s house, and even the airport - dreaded criminals are committing crimes openly,” he said.

Bihar LoP sarcastically said, “Beware! What if someone calls this Jungle Raj? Anyway, the Prime Minister is visiting Bihar tomorrow, and the Godi Media needs to maintain a positive image.”

As panic gripped the area, senior police officials immediately rushed to the spot. The area was cordoned off, and CCTV footage is being examined to identify the culprits. The injured youth was rushed to the hospital, where his condition is reported to be critical.

Ironically, this incident occurred just hours before the newly appointed SSP of Patna, Kartikeya Kumar Sharma, took charge. Transferred from Purnea, Sharma has been brought in specifically to tackle the worsening law and order situation in the state capital.

Upon assuming charge, SSP Sharma stated: “Law and order will be strictly enforced. There will be zero tolerance for crime, and anyone taking the law into their hands will face tough consequences.” However, the brazen crime that unfolded just before his official joining poses an early test for the new SSP, with questions already surfacing about police presence and patrolling in even the most sensitive areas.

This is shocking! A firing incident in the VVIP zone shows complete failure of law and order. Nitish Kumar ji used to talk about good governance, but now criminals are ruling Bihar. When will our leaders stop playing politics and focus on public safety? 😡

Tejashwi Yadav is right to raise this issue, but RJD's time wasn't exactly crime-free either. Instead of blame games, all parties should work together to make Bihar safe. The new SSP has his work cut out - hope he delivers on his tough talk.

Jungle Raj is back with a vengeance! If this can happen near CM's residence, imagine the situation in common areas. Nitish Kumar should stop doing political experiments and focus on basic governance. Bihar deserves better!

The timing is suspicious - just before PM's visit. But politics aside, the bigger issue is our failing police system. CCTV cameras everywhere but no prevention. Hope the injured youth recovers soon. 🙏

As a Patna resident, I'm scared for my family's safety. If VVIP areas aren't safe, where is? Police presence is only visible during VIP movements, not for common citizens. Time for complete police reforms in Bihar!

While Tejashwi's criticism is valid, his sarcastic tone doesn't help. We need constructive opposition, not just taunts. The new SSP seems capable - let's give him some time before judging. Fingers crossed for improvement 🤞
