Bihar: Former Patna councillor shot five times in Buddha Colony

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) A former Patna municipal councillor was critically injured after unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on him in the Buddha Colony police station area of Patna on Wednesday. The victim, Anil Yadav, was sitting in the basement of his apartment complex with some supporters when two men arrived on a motorcycle and allegedly opened fire. Yadav was hit by multiple bullets, with reports indicating that he was shot around five times. He was rushed to Udyan Hospital in Patna, where he is undergoing treatment and remains under medical supervision. The shooting took place in a residential locality, triggering panic among residents. A girls hostel is located on the first floor of the apartment building where the incident occurred, adding to the commotion following the firing. According to residents, the assailants fled the spot after the shooting while allegedly carrying firearms. Police from the Buddha Colony police station arrived soon after receiving information about the incident. Officers inspected the scene and questioned residents and other witnesses. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from cameras installed in the apartment complex and nearby areas to identify the attackers. Police teams have also been conducting raids at suspected hideouts to apprehend those involved.

Bihar: Hareram Yadav sent to judicial custody in Jamui case

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) Hareram Yadav, arrested in connection with the alleged assault and molestation of a minor girl in Bihars Jamui district, was produced before a special POCSO court on Wednesday and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. After being declared medically fit by a doctor, Yadav was brought before the court of Maheshwar Dubey, Special Judge for POCSO cases. The court subsequently sent him to judicial custody. During the court appearance, advocate Akash Pandey allegedly slapped Yadav inside the court premises, briefly creating a commotion. Pandey explained his action by saying he felt deep outrage against the accused and considered the slap symbolic of the anger of the entire town of Jamui. Jamui Superintendent of Police Vishwajeet Dayal said one of the three individuals initially detained as juveniles was subsequently found to be an adult. According to the SP, eight arrests have been made so far, five in connection with the alleged molestation case and three in connection with the circulation of the viral video. Nandan Yadav, identified by police as the main accused, was apprehended on Tuesday after sustaining a gunshot injury to his leg during a police encounter. Hareram Yadav had been arrested before Nandans apprehension. Police said two minors and another accused, found to be on the borderline of adulthood, have already been sent to a juvenile correction facility and jail, respectively. Investigators have identified six individuals in connection with the alleged molestation case. Police have arrested five, while one accused, Ranjeet Ram of Pratappur, remains absconding. The Cyber Police Station has identified around 120 social media accounts allegedly involved in circulating the video and is preparing further action against them. A separate case, registered as Case No. 45/2026 at the Jamui Cyber Police Station, concerns the circulation of unblurred videos involving minors, which police said exposed their identities. Police have already arrested three alleged social media handlers and sent them to judicial custody. The arrested individuals have been identified as Yogendra Prasad Yadav of Auraiya Para Matihana in Sono block, Faiyaz Shah of Adsar in Jamui city, and Ramashish Kumar of Sagma in Chandradeep block. Police have also registered cases against several other individuals allegedly involved in circulating the video on platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and X.

Cases have been registered under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.

Jamui molestation case: Bihar minister condemns incident, says families will have to give morals, not just education

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 22 (IANS) Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav on Tuesday condemned the alleged molestation of a young woman in Jamui, describing the incident as extremely unfortunate and deplorable and said that families will have to give morals, not just education. He also criticised Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for raising the issue in a social media post and urged him not to politicise the matter. Speaking to IANS, Yadav said the government had taken the incident seriously and assured that strict action would be taken against all those responsible. The Jamui incident is extremely unfortunate and condemnable. No matter how strongly this incident is condemned, it would not be enough. The government has taken the incident seriously. Strict action will be taken, and is being taken, against all those responsible. Under the POCSO Act, the accused who are arrested will be booked under the Act and given the strictest possible punishment, he said. Yadav said that people with such 'low mentality' needed to change with changing times. I think such things which are happening, in the age of change, such people who have such a low mentality, they will have to change themselves, he told IANS. Families will have to give morals, not just education, he added. Reacting to Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi's social media post on the Jamui incident, Yadav said, Rahul Gandhi, do not politicise the issue. In the states where your governments are in power, although your governments are gradually losing power and only a few states may be left, look at your states and examine the performance of your governments. See how law and order was violated, how many rapes, robberies, dacoities, thefts, murders, mass killings and mass rapes took place during that period. Meanwhile, a viral video showing the alleged harassment of two Class 10 students, including a girl, in Bihar's Jamui district has triggered a political confrontation, with Opposition leaders questioning Bihar's law-and-order situation and the ruling alliance defending the administration's response. The incident reportedly took place on September 19 in a hilly area near the Jamui-Lakhisarai border. According to police, the two students had left after attending coaching classes and were returning on a scooter when a group of youths allegedly stopped them. A video of the incident later surfaced on social media, showing the two students surrounded and subjected to inappropriate behaviour. The girl was allegedly molested, while the boy was assaulted. The circulation of the video prompted police action and widespread political criticism. LoP Gandhi criticised the Bihar government over the incident and questioned why all those allegedly involved had not yet been arrested. In a post on X, Gandhi described the video as disturbing and said the students had allegedly been stopped, harassed and humiliated. He demanded that all individuals visible in the footage be identified and prosecuted under the POCSO Act and called for speedy justice. LoP Gandhi also questioned the safety of girls travelling on roads in Bihar and sought an explanation from the state government over the alleged delay in arresting all those involved. RJD National Working President Tejashwi Yadav also targeted the Bihar government, sharing the video on X and alleging a deterioration in law and order. He claimed that women and female students were no longer safe in the state and accused the NDA government of failing to protect women, students, poor people and Dalits.
