Bihar: Auto driver arrested for molesting student in Bhojpur
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 26 (IANS) Bihar Police on Saturday arrested an auto-rickshaw driver accused of molesting a college student in Bhojpur district. The incident occurred between Mahuli and Balua villages under the jurisdiction of Mufassil police station. Police identified the accused as Vijay Kumar, alias Chaurasia or Masto, a resident of Bakharia village. According to the complaint, the undergraduate student was returning home by auto-rickshaw after attending classes at Dhobaha Market when the driver allegedly molested her. Police said the student managed to jump off the moving vehicle to save herself, sustaining head injuries in the process. She reached home and informed her family, after which police registered a named FIR under relevant sections of the BNS Act. Investigators arrested Vijay Kumar and seized his vehicle. Police are examining the circumstances and taking further legal action based on the complaint and available evidence. The Bhojpur case comes amid a spate of incidents involving harassment and molestation of girls and women reported from different parts of Bihar. Earlier, on September 19, a Class 10 student was allegedly harassed and molested in Jamui, while a male student accompanying her was assaulted. The accused circulated a video of the incident on social media. Three videos purportedly showing similar incidents later surfaced from Samastipur, while separate cases were reported from Kishanganj and Banka districts. Police have arrested several accused in these cases, with investigations continuing in others. The incidents have triggered renewed public debate about the safety of women and girls and the law-and-order situation in the state.

Institutional differences should not be politicised: Jitan Ram Manjhi
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 26 (IANS) Union MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Saturday targeted opposition leaders over the ongoing political debate surrounding reported differences of opinion within the Election Commission of India, including those concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He said those attempting to politicise differences of opinion within an institution were inexperienced, arguing that differing views can arise during deliberations in various constitutional and governmental bodies. Manjhi cited Cabinet meetings, Election Commission proceedings, and deliberations involving judges as examples where different views may emerge. His remarks come amid controversy over reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections on several matters over 10 months. The Election Commission has said that individual observations and differing views are part of its normal internal deliberative process and maintained that its final decisions were taken unanimously. Manjhi said a difference of opinion does not necessarily mean that every individuals view will prevail, adding that the institutions prescribed decisionmaking process ultimately determines the outcome. Separately, Manjhi wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking adequate speaking time for Members of Parliament belonging to the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) during parliamentary discussions on important Bills. BJP MP Gajendra Singh Patel, who represents the Khargone Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh, raised the issue during an NDA MPs Group Dialogue Meeting held at Manjhis residence on August 5. Manjhi subsequently raised the matter with the Lok Sabha Speaker in a letter dated September 16. Speaking to journalists at his residence in Gaya on Saturday, Manjhi explained how the NDA parliamentary group functioned during the 20242029 term. He said groups of around 1415 MPs meet under a minister's leadership, either at the beginning or end of a parliamentary session, to discuss issues of concern. MPs raise all kinds of issues and concerns they feel are important during these meetings. It is my practice that whenever an MP speaks, voices a grievance, or offers a suggestion, I write to the relevant ministry. I inform them that the MP has raised these points and request that necessary action be taken, Manjhi said. He added that Patel had specifically raised concerns that SC and ST MPs were not getting sufficient opportunities to speak during discussions on important Bills. The issue raised was that MPs from Dalit and Mahadalit communities get fewer opportunities to speak. I wrote to the Speaker about this; although, strictly speaking, I should have written to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, I wrote directly to the Speaker. There is no political angle to this, Manjhi said. He stressed that the matter was not personal but related to concerns raised by Members of Parliament. This is not a personal matter; rather, it is an issue raised by Members of Parliament, and since I am the leader of the group, I need to convey these concerns to the concerned ministry. That is why I wrote a letter to the Speaker regarding this matter, he said.

JD(U) says Delhi voters tired of 'new alternatives' as Prashant Kishor eyes MCD polls
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 26 (IANS) As Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor explores plans to contest the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls, the JD(U) on Saturday said people in the national Capital had already become tired of 'new alternatives', pointing out that they had earlier voted for the AAP as an alternative. Speaking to IANS, JD(U) national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan alleged, The people of Delhi have already become tired of new alternatives. They had also voted for the AAP as an alternative. There were tall promises about fighting corruption and simplicity, but a Sheesh Mahal was built and a liquor scam also took place. Several leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, went behind bars. The people of Delhi are now tired of this politics of alternatives, which is why they showed the AAP the way out in the last election. JD(U) national general secretary Shyam Rajak said Kishors electoral victory had boosted his confidence. He somehow managed to win an Assembly election from Bankipur, and that has boosted his confidence. But the people know him. Everyone has the right to expand their party. They should expand it. In a democracy, everyone has the right to form and run a party, contest elections and seek peoples support. He is exercising that right. There is nothing very significant about it for me. Let him do it, Rajak said. The Jan Suraaj Party is exploring a possible entry into Delhi politics, with supporters in the capital set to raise the proposal with Kishor when they felicitate him on Sunday for his Bankipur bypoll victory. The event is being organised by Biharis living in Delhi who are associated with the party. Kumar Shantanu, a member of the Jan Suraaj core committee, said supporters who identify with Kishors political vision had been pressing for the formation of a Delhi chapter. Kishor, a former election strategist who worked with parties across the political spectrum, built Jan Suraaj around a campaign in Bihar focussed on education, employment and governance. He spent months travelling across the state before the organisation took the form of a political party. Jan Suraajs first major electoral test came in the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls. It contested 238 seats but failed to win any, raising questions about whether Kishors campaign could translate public interest into votes. Kishor did not contest that election himself. The Bankipur bypoll in August gave the party its first seat in the Bihar Assembly and Kishor his first electoral victory as a candidate. He defeated BJPs Neeraj Kumar by 19,324 votes, securing 64,151 votes against Kumars 44,827.

Misa Bharti seeks FIR against Bihar CM over Jamui row
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 25 (IANS) RJD Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti on Friday reached the Secretariat Police Station in Patna seeking registration of an FIR against Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary over his social media post featuring the family of a minor girl involved in the Jamui molestation case. Bharti submitted a written complaint at the police station and waited for some time, but alleged that the police refused to accept her complaint or register an FIR. She subsequently left the police station without the case being registered. Speaking after visiting the Secretariat Police Station, Bharti said she had approached the police to lodge an FIR against the Chief Minister and questioned how ordinary citizens are treated when seeking to register complaints. We have not come to the Secretariat police station to play caste politics. We are elected representatives of the people, Members of Parliament. If my FIR is not being registered, one can only imagine the plight of ordinary citizens of Bihar at police stations, she said. She also pointed out that Choudhary holds the portfolios of both Chief Minister and Home Minister. Referring to the Jamui case, she claimed that FIRs had been registered against more than 250 people, including news-channel personnel, YouTubers and ordinary citizens, over the circulation of related material. Bharti alleged that the Chief Ministers interaction with the victims family and the subsequent publication of the photograph raised questions under the POCSO Act. The Chief Minister of Bihar was holding a photo session after summoning the victimised girl and her family members. On one hand, cases are being registered against news channels for violating the POCSO Act. Yet, he himself shared a photo on X that violates the same Act, only to delete the post after realising the error twenty minutes later. Does this constitute a violation of the POCSO Act or not? she asked. The controversy centres on the Jamui case, in which police have arrested those accused of the alleged molestation of a minor girl. The issue took a political turn after Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary shared a photograph on social media with the victims family during his interaction with them on Thursday. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav subsequently alleged that the photograph violated provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The post was later deleted. Tejashwi also questioned why police had not registered an FIR against the Chief Minister, arguing that they had taken action against other individuals accused of sharing photographs or videos related to the case on social media. He said the law should apply equally to everyone and warned that he would approach the court if the police did not register a case against Choudhary. Bharti also referred to a series of recent incidents involving girls and women reported from different parts of Bihar, including Jamui, Samastipur, Banka, Madhepura and Darbhanga. She alleged that the incidents reflected concerns over womens safety in the state. The controversy now centres on whether the police will formally take up Bharti's complaint and whether any legal proceedings will follow over the photograph shared by the Chief Minister. Any allegation of a POCSO violation would ultimately have to be examined under applicable law, based on the facts and evidence available to the authorities.
Election Commission Row Escalates: Congress Takes Protest Nationwide, CEC Under Fire

Meanwhile, a PIL against the CEC has been filed in the Supreme Court.
ED searches 16 locations linked to Bengaluru-based firm
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 25 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted searches at 16 premises linked to Bengaluru-based Attica Gold Private Limited and others across Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam in connection with an alleged money laundering case involving the purchase and acquisition of stolen gold, an official statement said on Friday. The searches were conducted on September 23 and 24 under Section 17 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, by the ED's Bengaluru Zonal Office. According to the ED, the investigation relates to allegations that Attica Gold Private Limited, its shareholders and directors were habitually involved in the purchase, acquisition and dealing of stolen gold articles, allegedly generating substantial proceeds of crime. The investigation was initiated based on multiple FIRs registered and charge sheets filed by police authorities at various police stations over allegations of habitual purchase, acquisition and dealing in stolen gold, the central agency said. The ED said that information gathered from the FIRs was further supported by other verifiable inputs regarding alleged money laundering activities and processes undertaken by the accused persons. The searches covered residential premises of directors, former directors and shareholders, besides the head office and branches of Attica Gold Private Limited and other linked premises. The central probe agency identified P.S. Ayub alias Bomanahalli Babu, Obedulla A., Mohammed Salman A. and Arbin Taj A. among the key persons linked to the investigation. According to the ED, these persons did not cooperate with the search proceedings and remained absconding. The ED also alleged that employees at some of the business premises covered during the searches had been instructed by the key persons to remain unavailable during the proceedings. The searches resulted in the seizure of alleged proceeds of crime in the form of Rs 7.52 lakh in cash, apart from foreign currency, gold jewellery and silver articles, the central agency said. The ED added that further investigation into the case is underway. It can be noted that Attica Gold has a large network of outlets across several states and is involved in the purchase and sale of gold. The company is into purchasing gold directly from individuals, melting it down and converting it into jewellery before selling it through its outlets. The ED is examining complaints and allegations concerning the manner in which gold was procured and subsequently processed and sold by the company. The organisation had also been searched by the Income Tax Department in the past as part of an earlier investigation. Attica Gold has expanded its business across multiple states and reportedly operates around 200 outlets. The company's business model involves buying and selling gold through its network of shops. The latest ED action has also drawn attention to Bommanahalli Babu, widely known as Attica Babu, to his political activities. He was reportedly preparing to contest the bypoll from the Hiriyur Assembly constituency.

Bihar Congress, RJD protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over SIR issues; police use water canons
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 25 (IANS) The Bihar Congress staged a protest march in Patna on Friday against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and over issues related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls. The RJD also staged a demonstration in Patna over the issue. Police used water cannons to stop the protesters as they attempted to proceed towards the State Election Commission office. The protest march was organised from R-Block to the State Election Commission office. A large number of Congress leaders and workers participated in the demonstration, raising slogans against the Election Commission and demanding the resignation of the CEC. Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee president Rajesh Ram said the protest was linked to the questions being raised by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding the electoral process and voter lists. The protest against the Election Commission stems from the fact that Rahul Gandhi was consistently exposing them... today it has been proven that governments in Bihar, Haryana, and Maharashtra were formed through vote theft. The Election Commission has not yet responded to Rahul Gandhi, Ram said. These allegations reflect the Congress party's political position and have not been established as facts by the Election Commission or a court. Tension was reported during the demonstration as Congress workers and police personnel came face-to-face. Some protesters climbed the barricades while carrying an effigy of the CEC, leading to a commotion at the site. Police subsequently used water cannons to disperse the protesters. Congress workers and leaders also demanded the removal and arrest of CEC Gyanesh Kumar during the demonstration. Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav also criticised the Election Commission amid the nationwide Congress protests. They have committed an injustice against 13 crore people in Bengal, Bihar, and Assam. How can they simply be allowed to get away with it? Yadav said. The RJD, a key constituent of the Mahagathbandhan, also staged a demonstration in Patna over the issue. RJD leaders and workers took to the streets and raised questions over the functioning of the Election Commission, particularly in connection with the revision of electoral rolls and the electoral process. The protests in Bihar are part of a broader political campaign by Opposition parties questioning the Election Commission's handling of voter lists and the Special Intensive Revision. The protests come amid a recent report by a national English daily newspaper alleging that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had formally recorded objections at least 14 times over a period of 10 months regarding decisions and procedures of the poll panel. The reported objections covered issues including voter registration and deletion, restoration of names, changes to Form 6, new voters and the management of electoral-roll data. The report said some of the objections concerned decisions that the two commissioners stated had been taken without their knowledge or approval. The objections reportedly included concerns about the centralisation of electoral-roll database controls and aspects of the SIR process. The Election Commission has rejected the suggestion that the reported objections demonstrate a lack of consensus within the three-member poll panel. According to the Commission, all decisions taken by it, including those related to the SIR, had the approval of all three Election Commissioners and were reached unanimously. The Commission said that highlighting individual internal notes without considering the broader body of decisions and approvals presents only one part of its decision-making process. The controversy over the functioning of the Election Commission and the revision of electoral rolls continues, with Opposition parties demanding greater accountability while the poll panel maintains that its decisions have been taken in accordance with its established procedures.
