Three women arrested for attack on Gaya doctor who treated rape survivor's mother
Bihar police on Wednesday (June 4, 2025) arrested three women in the case related to a doctor in Gaya district who was beaten by the villagers after being tied to a tree until his body was covered with blood for treating the mother of a rape survivor. The incident happened on Tuesday (June 3) in Harakurha village under Gurpa police station when rural doctor Jitendra Yadav had gone to treat the lady whose daughter was raped in 2021. Mr. Yadav was dragged out of the house and beaten mercilessly with iron road and sticks. Police had lodged the case against 10 people at Fatehpur police station out of which three people have been arrested, the accused include women as well. The victim is undergoing treatment at Magadh Medical College in Gaya. After the incident, police visited the hospital to record Mr. Yadav's statement. After the FIR, Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Sunil Kumar Pandey conducted raids along with Fathepur Station House Officer (SHO) Prashant Kumar Singh and Gurpa SHO Vinay Kumar to arrest the accused. During raids, Khushboo Devi, Basanti Devi and Putul Devi were arrested. While speaking to The Hindu, Gaya Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anand Kumar said, 'Three women have been arrested in the case related to the doctor and raids are being conducted continuously to arrest the rest seven accused.' According to the rape victim's mother, her 15-year-old daughter was raped and three people were named in the case. She pointed out that the accused family, who are also the strongmen, were pressuring her family members to withdraw the case. The family said that the only fault of the rural doctor was that he supported the rape victim's family. 'On May 30, we recorded our testimony and one of the accused was arrested and the rest are still absconding. They have beaten up our family members several times in the past to withdraw the case. The goons of the accused side entered my house and dragged the rural doctor,'the mother said in the media statement. However, the SDPO Mr. Pandey denied that the case of doctor beaten was related to the rape case rather it was case of land dispute. Tejashwi slams Bihar govt. However, the incident has taken a political turn after the video of the doctor went viral on social media. Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Tejashwi Yadav shared the video on his social media 'X' on Tuesday. 'The situation in Bihar is worse than that under the Taliban. In Gaya district, a doctor who went to treat the mother of a rape victim was tied to a tree by the accused and beaten until blood came out of from his body,'Mr. Yadav said. He further said, 'In 20 years of corrupt NDA government, the police and administration are completely incapable of preventing crime, apprehending criminals, or delivering punishment and justice, which is why people are taking the law into their own hands wherever and however they please.' He added that Bihar is in a state of anarchy and the Chief Minister is unconscious, the government is intoxicated, whereas officers and ministers are busy looting the treasury, and governance is in shambles. Meanwhile in another case, a youth was arrested for raping her 11-month-old niece in Gaya district under Amas Police station area on Wednesday. The condition of the Mahadalit girl is critical and being treated at a government hospital.

Families of selected SI candidates protest, oppose exam cancellation
1 2 Jaipur: Families of candidates, who had cleared Sub-Inspector Recruitment Examination 2021, held a protest at Dussehra Ground in Adarsh Nagar Friday, urging the state govt not to cancel the recruitment. The protesters said honest candidates who cleared the exam on merit should not be penalised due to the actions of a few. The protesters raised concerns that recent demands by Opposition leaders to cancel the exam were "unreasonable" and risked jeopardising the future of candidates who cleared the exam through hard work and integrity. One of the protesters, Deva Ram Naian pointed out that while the SOG investigation into the recruitment is ongoing and around 50 candidates were dismissed for irregularities, a large number of those selected were law-abiding, deserving candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds. The protesters said that among the selected are meritorious students, single women, ex-servicemen, and candidates from SC/ST and TSP areas, many of whom left other govt jobs to join the police force. Protesters said cancelling the entire exam would harm those currently undergoing training and those who not only passed the rigorous process but also declined other opportunities to serve in the police. They also contested the claim that 8 lakh candidates would face injustice if the recruitment is cancelled, stating that only 4.25 lakh actually appeared for the exam while 3.75 lakh did not.
