PATNA: Sleuths of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday carried out searches on multiple locations of arms smugglers in Bihar's Vaishali, Muzaffarpur and Saran districts. The Bihar-based gangs have their links with those operating in Nagaland and other northeastern states. The searches began early morning and concluded late in the evening. Sources said that sleuths of the federal agency cordoned off the house of an influential Mukhiya (panchayat head) Nandkishore Rai under Kudhani police station limits in Muzaffarpur district and started a search operation.

Bihar man is the father of '138' voters, reveals election data
PATNA: In a bizarre revelation during the legislative council by-election for the Tirhut Graduate constituency in Bihar, an individual named Munna Kumar has been listed as the father of 138 voters across different age groups and genders. The by-election, held on Thursday, covered 197 polling booths across four districtsSitamarhi, Sheohar, Muzaffarpur, and Vaishaliand recorded a voter turnout of 47.50%, an increase from 45.20% in 2020. According to officials, this anomaly was discovered under the Aurai block in Muzaffarpur district, where multiple voters were listed with Munna Kumar as their father. Tirhut Divisional Commissioner Sarvana M. stated, I will investigate the matter after the elections conclude. This appears to be a human error, but it should have been rectified during the verification process before publishing the final voter list. He added that strict disciplinary action would be taken against those responsible. Despite the irregularity, officials confirmed that it would not affect the overall voting process. The by-election was necessitated by the election of sitting MLC Devesh Chandra Thakur as a Member of Parliament from the Sitamarhi Lok Sabha seat in the recent parliamentary elections. A total of 1.54 lakh voters were eligible to decide the fate of 18 candidates in the fray. Prominent contenders include Abhishek Jha from the JD(U), Gopi Kishan from the RJD, and Dr. Vinayak Gautam of Prashant Kishors Jan Suraaj Party, who is the grandson of former minister Raghunath Pandey. Reacting to the anomaly, JD(U) candidate Abhishek Jha expressed disbelief. Its unbelievable. How can voters of different ages, genders, and religious affiliations have the same person listed as their father? he questioned. Independent candidate Bansi Dhar Brijwasi revealed that he had already brought the issue to the attention of senior administrative officials. They assured me that the matter would be looked into after the elections, he said. The by-election, which passed off peacefully, is set to conclude with the announcement of results on December 9.
Bihar bypoll: Every 5th voter of polling booth has father of same name
Muzaffarpur (Bihar), Dec 5 (PTI) In a comedy of errors, almost every fifth voter of a polling booth in a Bihar legislative council constituency, where a by-election was held on Thursday (December 5), has the father of the same name. Officials conceded that it was an anomaly in the electoral roll which would, however, not affect the poll process for the Tirhut Graduates constituency, where 18 candidates are in the fray. The voters, numbering slightly over 1.5 lakh, are spread across 197 booths in the districts of Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur, Vaishali and Sheohar. The anomaly has come to light in the

Muslims dont vote for JD(U) in elections, Lalan Singhs remark sparks political row in Bihar
PATNA: Senior JD(U) leader and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, alias Lalan Singh , has stirred a political controversy with his remark that Muslims do not vote for his party in elections. His statement has drawn criticism, including from his own party colleagues, who refuted his claim by pointing out that minorities have supported the JD(U) in recent elections. While addressing a JD(U) workers meeting in Muzaffarpur, North Bihar, Singh, a former national president of the party, argued that Muslims have not voted for JD(U) despite the developmental projects implemented for them by the Nitish Kumar government. It is a myth to say that minorities did not vote for us in the past but now they vote in our support. The truth is that no matter how much development is done for the minorities, they never vote in our favor, Singh asserted. He further stated that the condition of minorities was deplorable during RJDs tenure but improved significantly after Nitish Kumar came to power. Earlier, a madrasa teacher was receiving only Rs 4,000 a month, but now they are being paid as per the Seventh Pay Commission. Despite all these initiatives for the welfare of the minority community, we do not get their votes, the minister lamented. Some minority leaders claim that Muslims vote for Nitish, but we do not live under any illusion. The reality is that the minority community does not vote for Nitish Kumar. Instead, they vote for the party that has done nothing for their development to date, he added. Countering Singhs views, JD(U) leader Mohammad Jamal claimed that Muslims did vote for the party during the Belaganj Assembly by-poll, as reflected in the results. He also pointed out that in the Lok Sabha elections, a significant number of minorities voted for JD(U) candidates in constituencies like Sitamarhi and Sheohar. Another senior JD(U) leader and minister, Ashok Chaudhary, highlighted the extensive work done by the Nitish Kumar government for the welfare of minorities. Earlier, the budget for minorities was Rs 2,200 crores; today, it is around Rs 7,000 crores. Certainly, work has been done for their welfare. Bihar is one of the few states in India where our leader (Nitish) has provided BPSC and UPSC coaching to children from minority communities, Chaudhary claimed. Reacting sharply to Singhs statement, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav remarked, Forget about Lalan Singh. When he was with us, he used to make all sorts of statements about the Prime Minister and Amit Shah. He changes his stance based on political convenience. He has no credibility. Asaduddin Owaisis AIMIM also expressed similar views on the contentious issue, criticizing Singhs remarks and questioning the sincerity of JD(U)s claims about minority welfare.
Bihar sex workers set to foray into culinary world
PATNA: Sex workers of Bihars Muzaffarpur are poised to foray into a new world -- cooking famous Champaran handi (earthen pot) mutton and selling it to customers who value its test. Dancing and providing services to customers visiting their homes in Chaturbhujsthan red light area of the town will soon become a thing of the past. Gopal Kushwaha, the proprietor of Champaran Handi Mutton fame, on Sunday started imparting training to 10 sex workers of the red light area of Muzaffarpur. He provided one months raw material and utensils free of cost for preparing mutton. Juli Khatoon, Soni Parveen, Gudia, Chanda and Rehana were among the 10 women of the redlight area who were imparted training on cooking the mutton. The profession we are associated with is looked down upon. Its a dirty world. The training to cook mutton will open doors for numerous sex workers who want to get rid of this age-old profession, said Juli. There was no alternative means of survival. Now we have got it and want to exploit the opportunity to keep our future generation out of this dark and dingy world, she said. Chanda said she would provide online service to customers of Champaran handi mutton in the town. Majority of girls and women of our age are looking for an alternative means of survival. They want to liberate themselves from this dirty trade, she said. The novel initiative of Kushwaha has received appreciation not only from officials but also from social workers. Kushwaha said he has assured the sex workers and their children to help opening shops in Muzaffarpur town or elsewhere they wish. Naseema Khatoon, founder of NGO Parchum working for uplift of sex workers, said Kushwaha had discussed the idea of providing training on Champaran Handi Mutton to sex workers. I assured him full cooperation. The day came on Sunday when the training programme for sex workers was launched, she said. Naseema, daughter of a sex worker, is now a member of the National Human Rights Commission Advisory Group. She said she would request to Muzaffarpur district authority to provide shops to the sex workers along Marine Drive (riverfront of the town) or some other locations. She said Kushwahas efforts will help women of redlight area to become self-reliant and not to depend on their traditional profession. Chaturbhujsthan red light area has a population of about 1000. Majority of them are engaged in performing dance at cultural-wedding events and meeting customers. Its unfortunate that some women are still engaged in the profession, which dates backs to Mughal period, said Vivek Kumar, who is making a documentary on Kushwahas initiative on changing the lifestyle of sex workers of Muzaffarpur.
Poverty drives woman to sell her toddler to repay loan
PATNA: A poverty-stricken woman was forced to sell off her child for a paltry Rs 9,000 to repay her bank loan in Bihars Araria district, an official said on Saturday. On learning about the incident, the police immediately swung into action. They recovered the child from his relatives house, where he was kept before being handed over finally to a Bengaluru-based issueless woman.The woman was in search of a child and had promised to pay Rs 2 lakh in exchange for the child. While the childs parents Mohammad Haroon and Rehana Khatoon -- are in police custody for questioning, the boy has been handed over to the child welfare committee on Saturday. Rehana Khatoon claimed that her brother Tanveer sold the child to a co-villager, Mohammad Arif, and paid her Rs 9,000 on Sunday. She told the police that she was not aware of the amount Tanveer had received from Arif for selling her son. Arifs relatives are claiming he paid Rs 45,000 to get possession of the child. Blaming her impoverished life for the crime, Rehana said that she was forced to sell her child as she was unable to pay her bank loan of Rs 50,000 due to financial constraints. She claimed that the bank employees had also started to harass her. I was under tremendous pressure as the installment of the loan which I had taken from a private finance company was due for the past three months. Agents of the money lending company were harassing us and even threatened to sue them for their failure to repay the loan. My brother Tanveer advised me to sell off one of the eight children to repay the loan, Rehana told the interrogators. The couple residing in Pachira panchayat of Raniganj block in Araria district has eight childrenfive sons and three daughters. Gurfan, one-and-a-half-year-old, is the youngest among them. Gurfan was sent to his maternal uncle Tanveers house on Sunday, where he was handed over to Mohammad Arif, a resident of Dumaria. The police recovered the child safely from Arifs house. Station house officer (SHO) of Raniganj police station, Nirmal Kumar Yadvendu, said that the child has been handed over to the child welfare committee of the district. The parents of the child have been detained for interrogation. Some other relatives have also been picked up for questioning to ascertain the truth, he asserted. The childs relative Arsadi said that Rehana had gone to Arifs house with Rs 9000 to take back her son, but he (Arif) refused on the plea that he had paid Rs 45,000 for the child. Rehana had collected money from villagers who provided the sum after they learned about the shocking incident. She told the police that Arif had taken huge money from a Bengaluru-based woman who wished to adopt a child (as she childless). Araria is close to the Nepal border. Child trafficking incidents are a common feature in the bordering districts of Bihar. In 2016, Rukmani and Sandeep Meena of a village in Patna district sold their nine-year-old son to a mediator in Indore to repay a loan of Rs 20,000. The same year, a Muzaffarpur district based man Himanshu Ranjan sold off his wife and two daughters aged about five years and three years to pay back a loan of Rs 4 lakh. A similar case came to light in Samastipur district in 2012 when one Parvati Devi sold her 18-month-old son to clear debt of Rs 15,000.
Diwali 2024: Strict Firecracker Bans in THESE States for a Greener Celebration
As Diwali comes, several states in India, including Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, are taking significant measures to combat rising pollution levels. These regions have implemented strict regulations regarding the use of firecrackers, aiming for a cleaner and greener celebration. This year, a complete ban is in effect on the manufacture, storage, sale, and use of any firecrackers other than 'green' ones. How Many States Have Imposed Firecracker Bans for a Greener Diwali 2024? Delhi In Delhi, the situation is particularly critical due to severe air quality issues during winter. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has enforced a total ban on the manufacturing, storage, sale, and use of all firecrackers, including online purchases. This ban will last until January 1, 2025, allowing only 'green crackers' to be used. On Diwali, which falls on October 31, fireworks are permitted between 8 PM and 10 PM, with specific timings for Gurpurab, Christmas, and New Years Eve.

Maharashtra and West Bengal Maharashtra and West Bengal have adopted similar regulations in line with the NGT's recommendations. All firecrackers, except green alternatives that produce around 30% less pollution, are prohibited. However, enforcement remains challenging due to the illegal influx of firecrackers from regions with less stringent laws. Authorities are ramping up their monitoring efforts to curb illegal sales. Punjab Punjab is also taking a strong stance by adhering to directives from the Supreme Court and NGT. The state government, empowered by the Environment (Protection) Act, has implemented strict regulations on the sale and use of firecrackers. Fireworks are only allowed during specific hours on Diwali and other major festivals, including Gurpurab, Christmas, and New Years Eve, to balance festive celebrations with environmental protection. Haryana In Haryana, particularly in Gurugram, regulations mirror those of Delhi. Green crackers are permitted during designated hours on Diwali and Gurpurab. The Haryana government is actively promoting the use of green crackers as part of its strategy to reduce pollution levels during the winter months. Tamil Nadu Tamil Nadu has set specific time slots for firecracker use on Diwali, allowing them from 6 AM to 7 AM and 7 PM to 8 PM. The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has issued an advisory encouraging responsible firecracker use to minimize pollution and noise. Additionally, the TNPCB is working with other government agencies to educate the public on safe practices to protect health and the environment. With these regulations, authorities hope to ensure that Diwali remains a festive occasion while safeguarding public health and the environment.

Bihar excise officials intercept oil tanker smuggling beer in Bihar's Muzaffarpur
PATNA: An oil tanker in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district was found delivering liquor instead of oil on Wednesday About 200 beer crates were found in an oil tanker carrying logo of Hindustan Petroleum. The tanker carrying the registration number of Nagaland was intercepted by a team of excise department officials on Sakri-Sariaya on the Muzaffarpur-Hajipur road. On seeing the excise department team, the driver and an illicit liquor trader fled after abandoning the tanker on the national highway. The raiding team chased them, but they managed to escape leaving behind the tanker on the busy road. On being searched, beer crates were found. Assistant Excise Commissioner Vijay Shankar Dubey said that acting on a tip-off that liquor was being smuggled to Bihar from Arunachal Pradesh in an oil tanker, a team was deployed to track the vehicle and a road-blockade was put up for the purpose. When the members of the excise department team tried to intercept, the driver turned the vehicle towards another road. However, it was finally seized and illicit liquor recovered, the assistant excise commissioner revealed. He said that efforts were on to ascertain the identity of the local receiver who had booked the consignment. A case has been registered in this connection, Dubey said, adding that raids were on to arrest the accused. The seized vehicle has been brought to the excise police station. The manufacture, sale and storage of liquor is completely banned in Bihar under the new excise and prohibition policy 2016.

Police resort to lathicharge to disperse mob of flood victims in Bihar, deny report of firing
PATNA: Police resorted to baton charge to disperse a mob of flood victims indulged in putting up road blockade, stone pelting and arson in Bihars Muzaffarpur district on Friday. The authorities, however, denied the report of police firing and said that only a mild force was used to bring the situation under control. The incident took place near Gopalpur village under the Bedaul police outpost when a group of flood victims put up road blockade and indulged in arson on the National Highway 77 connecting Sitamarhi with Muzaffarpur. The flood victims were irked over closure of community kitchen, which was started by the district administration soon after the victims were evacuated to safer places. The road blockade led to traffic jam on the busy road. A police team attached to the Bedaul police outpost rushed to the spot to remove the blockade. Initially, the police tried to convince the protestors but in vain. The situation, however, turned worse when police used force to lift the road blockade. The protestors later pelted stones at the police team, which had to retreat to save their lives. Additional reinforcement was requisitioned from the district headquarters as the situation was going out of control. The protestors were not in a mood to relent. The police resorted to lathicharge and opened four rounds in the air to disperse the unruly mob. Though nobody was injured in the police firing, a police officer sustained injuries in the stone pelting. Vidya Sagar, superintendent of police (SP), rural, Muzaffarpur, said that the police resorted to baton charge to quell the protestors indulging in stone pelting, road blockade and arson. Now the situation is under control. An additional police force has been deployed in the area as a precautionary measure, he told this newspaper over phone. The SP, rural, however, denied the report of police firing and said that such rumours were spread by the protestors to defame the administration. The police-initiated action to restore traffic on the national highway as the queue of vehicles stranded on both sides of the road stretched to about five kilometres from the spot, he added. The locals said that the flood victims were not happy with the district authoritys decision to close community kitchen, which was started after people were evacuated to safer places after floods inundated their houses and destroyed their standing crops. Lack of fodder for their animal added fuel to the fire. Earlier, chief minister Nitish Kumar visited Darbhanga district to take stock of the situation arising out of floods. He also visited a community kitchen run for the flood victims in the district and asked the officials concerned to ensure adequate facilities at the flood relief camps. Later talking to media persons, Nitish said that Rs.7,000 each would be provided to the flood victims of 17 districts in the state. I have asked the authorities concerned to deposit the amount in the bank accounts of the flood victims before Dussehra festival, he said. Earlier, he conduced aerial survey of the flood hit districts. At a review meeting, Nitish directed the senior officers to monitor the arrangements for flood victims at the government run relief camps on a regular basis.
SC order convicts RJD leader Munna Shukla in 1998 murder of former minister Brij Bihari Prasad
PATNA: The Supreme Court order upholding conviction of former MLA and senior Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Vijay Kumar Shukla alias Munna Shukla and one other in connection with the 1998 murder of former minister Brij Bihari has heated up the political temperature in Bihar. Munna Shukla, former MLA from Lalganj in Vaishali district, unsuccessfully contested the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Vaishali on the ticket of Lalu Prasads Rashtriya Janata Dal. He was pitted against sitting Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP Veena Devi. While Munna Shukla and Mantu Tiwari have been awarded life imprisonment in the case and asked to surrender within 15 days, former Balia MP Surajbhan Singh alias Suraj Singh and six others have been acquitted for lack of evidence. In 2014, the Patna high court had acquitted all the accused. Brij Bihari, then a minister in Rabri Devi government, was shot dead by armed men in the premises of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) under Shashtrinagar police station in Patna on June 13, 1998. He was undergoing treatment in judicial custody. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested Brij Bihari Prasad in April 1998 in connection with merit scam. The SC verdict in the murder case has come as a major jolt to the states main opposition RJD. Munna Shukla, who comes from Upper caste Bhumihar, is an influential leader of RJD in Vaishali and Muzaffarpur region. He is a native of Khanjahachak village (Jalalpur) in Vaishali district. RJD fielded Munna Shukla from Vaishali with a view to creating a division in the Bhumihar votes but people from his own caste didnt favour him (Shukla). As a result, Veena Devi, the two-time MP from Vaishali, retained the seat even in 2024 Lok Sabha election, said Manohar Prasad, a resident of Lalganj. Munna is the younger brother of don-turned politician Kaushalendra Shukla alias Chotan Shukla, who was gunned down by armed men near Brahmapura overbridge in Muzaffarpur district while returning from canvassing on December 4, 1994. Chotan was set to contest upcoming assembly polls from Kesaria in East Champaran district on the ticket of erstwhile Bihar Peoples Party (BPP) led by former MP Anand Mohan. Brij Bihari Prasad, RJD MLA from Adapur in East Champaran district, was blamed for Chotans murder. People believe that Brij Bihari Prasad was emerging as a prominent backward leader after the killing of former MLA Devendra Nath Dubey, a day before the repoll on some polling booths in Motihari Lok Sabha election held in 1998. Dubey had contested the Lok Sabha election against RJD candidate Rama Devi, wife of Brij Bihari Prasad. Rama Devi emerged victorious from the seat but killing of Devendra Dubey led to animosity between Dubeys supporters and those of Brij Bihari Prasad. The murder of Chotan Shukla in Muzaffarpur on December 4, 1998, forced his supporters to take revenge of the incident. Hence, the conspiracy to eliminate Brij Bihari Prasad was hatched, which was successfully executed on June 13, 1998. A notorious criminal of Uttar Pradesh, Sri Prakash Shukla, was hired for the purpose as it was an arduous task to kill him in the hospital. Brij Bihari was provided five commandos and four personnel of Bihar Military Police (BMP) for his round the clock security. Shukla, a dare-devil shooter, was assigned the task. He spent several weeks as a patient in the IGIMS to keep a close watch on the movement of Brij Bihari. On the fateful day, he along with others shot dead Brij Bihari and his bodyguard when he had gone for evening stroll. Sri Prakash Shukla, Surajbhan Singh (former MP), Lallan Singh, Mukesh Singh, Ram Niranjan Choudhary, Munna Shukla, Mantu Tiwari, Bhupendra Dubey (former MLA), Rajan Tiwari, Satish Pandey were among the accused in the case lodged with Shashtri Nagar police station in Patna. The case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation after the deceaseds wife Rama Devi alleged that her husbands murder was a fallout of political conspiracy, and he was killed at the behest of some influential leader. Rama Devi later joined BJP and won Lok Sabha election from Sheohar in 2014 and 2019. Altogether nine accused were put to trial. The lower court convicted eight of them--Surajbhan Singh, Mukesh Singh, Lallan Singh, mantu Tiwari, Captain Sunil, Ram Niranjan Choudhary, Shashi Kumar Rai and Munna Shukla--(as one of the named accused had died) and awarded life sentence on August 12, 2009. In contrary, the Patna high court acquitted them for lack of evidence in July 2014. Mantu Tiwari, a resident of Kudarkat village under Chauradano police station limit in East Champaran district, is the nephew (sisters son) of slain leader Devendra Dubey. Both Shukla and Tiwari have been asked to surrender in court in 15 days. Sri Prakash was killed in an encounter with Uttar Pradesh police in September 1998. The SC verdict came on Thursday after the CBI and deceaseds wife Rama Devi challenged the high courts order.
Severe flooding in the Aurai block of Muzaffarpur in the area has caused many residents to move out from their waterlogged homes. Moreover, community kitchens have been set up to assist the affected families.

PATNA: Bihar cadre IPS officer Shivdeep Wamanrao Lande resigned from service on Thursday. The 2006-batch IPS officer had been posted as Inspector General (IG), Purnea range. He was transferred from Tirhut range (Muzaffarpur) to Purnea range recently. Lande, known to be an upright and honest officer, is the second officer to resign from Indian Police Service (IPS) in the past two months. Earlier, Kamya Mishra, a 2019-batch IPS officer, had resigned from service citing personal reasons. She was posted as SP, rural Darbhanga in Bihar. Lande shared the information about his resignation from IPS on social media. In his post, he said that he served the state for almost 18 years and always gave priority to his job. I have resigned from IPS, but I will remain in Bihar as it is my karmabhoomi, he said in his emotional post. Lande, a native of Maharashtra, hit the headlines when he was posted as SP, Rohtas. He had launched a massive crackdown against illegal stone crusher units operating in the district. He initiated tough action against stone crusher units owned by some political heavyweights as well. He, however, gained more popularity while serving as City SP, Patna. His action against ruffians had instilled confidence among girls who used to message him about their ordeal while going to schools and colleges. Girls used to send their messages even at night. His stint as SP, Araria was also remarkable. Before being promoted to IG, Lande served as DIG, Kosi range. This is not good that two IPS officers of Bihar have resigned from their service in such a short span, a retired IPS officer Amitabh Kumar Das said. Das, who was given forced voluntary retirement, said that the government should think over frequent resignation of Bihar cadre IPS officers. It sends a wrong message about the states work culture, he added. Kamya Mishra, a native of Odisha, was apparently not happy with the manner the gruesome murder of a politicians father was being probed. Her husband Awadhesh Saroj Dixit is also an IPS officer and posted in Bihar.

Talking to mediapersons in Samastipur, the RJD leader also targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by alleging that people had lost faith in him. People are in a desperate situation owing to alleged high unemployment, poverty, migration, rising crime graph and corruption, he added. We will build a new Bihar with a new vision. If our party forms government in Bihar, it will formulate policies for various social groups as per the caste-based survey report to reach all round development, he remarked. He said that Bihar's per capita income was lowest in the country and the number of people living below poverty line had also risen.
