Chirag Paswan slams Nitish government over rising Crime in Bihar, demands stronger action

Patna: Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Nitish government over the “increasing” incidents of crime in Bihar.

“Everyone has to fulfil their responsibility. Whether it is our government or someone else’s, crime cannot be managed like this,” Union Minister Paswan said, emphasising that the government and police must act decisively to control crime.

Referring to the recent murder of a child singer in Vaishali, Chirag said, “Removing police station-level officers will not be enough; action should be taken against senior officials as well.”

In the last few days, Patna has witnessed a series of criminal incidents. On Thursday, five armed men stormed Paras Hospital under the Shastri Nagar police station area, attacking a gangster, Chandan Mishra, inside the hospital premises.

Mishra, who has more than two dozen criminal cases, including murder, against him, had been in jail since 2024 and was admitted to Paras Hospital for treatment. Five armed men arrived on motorcycles, entered room number 209 on the second floor of the medical facility, and opened fire at him, leaving him dead on the spot. (IANS)
