Sushasan Ka Encounter: DNA Analysis Of Bihars Deteriorating Law And Order Situation
In a brazen act that exposed the collapse of law and order, five armed shooters stormed into the ICU and gunned down a man in cold blood. The victim, Chandan Mishra, was a known history-sheeter. The attackers not only fired multiple shots inside a high-security hospital but also walked out casually, unfazed, as if they had no fear of the police or consequences.

The murder, which took place in broad daylight, has raised serious questions about the state of policing in Bihar, a state already battling headlines over rising crime.
Ironically, just hours before this crime, Bihar ADG Kundan Krishnan made a controversial statement blaming the spike in criminal activities on 'free farmers' during off-season months. He suggested that between April and June, when agricultural work is minimal, crime in Bihar increases, an explanation now facing ridicule from opposition leaders and citizens alike.
Reacting sharply, Tejashwi Yadav mocked the logic behind the police officer's theory, while Bihar's Deputy CM Vijay Sinha gave the usual assurance, 'criminals will be caught.' But the core question remains: If criminals can openly commit murder inside a VIP hospital in the heart of the capital, and walk away freely, who is really in control?
The Zee News team visited several locations across Patna to observe the alertness of the police, only to find constables lounging in towels and vests, far from battle-ready. If this is the level of alertness in Patna, one wonders what the situation is in smaller towns and villages.
The family of Chandan Mishra has already named one of the shooters, Tausif Badshah, and claims to recognize the others as well. Yet, as of now, there have been no arrests, and fear among common citizens is growing.
So today, the bigger question DNA raises is this: Are fearless criminals now writing the rulebook in Bihar? Is the Bihar Police being challenged right under its nose, and if yes, why is there such little urgency in the system?

Bengaluru stampede: DNA Entertainment moves Karnataka high court to quash inquiry report
Bengaluru: DNA Entertainment Pvt Ltd has approached Karnataka high court seeking the quashing of the Justice John Michael D'Cunha inquiry committee's report into the June 4 stampede outside M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The company has alleged procedural lapses and bias in the report, which holds officials from DNA, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Royal Challengers Sports Pvt Ltd (RCSPL), and cops, including former Bengaluru police commissioner, accountable for the tragedy. In its petition, DNA has argued that the report was submitted in undue haste, ignoring critical documentation that demonstrated the company's efforts to manage the event inside the stadium. The company argued that it can't be held liable for crowd mismanagement outside the venue, which falls under the jurisdiction of the govt and police.

The company stated it had repeatedly requested the opportunity to question witnesses and inspect depositions, but wasn't allowed to do so. It argued that this amounted to a violation of natural justice and rendered the findings legally untenable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo Further, the petition pointed out that the authorities didn't respond to memos filed by the company on July 3. DNA has also raised questions over the legality of the report's timing — claiming the one-month deadline from June 5 had lapsed without a formal extension. The company noted that it had already paid for police deployment at the venue. It cited the relocation of a subsequent IPL match to Lucknow, which it claimed showed the authorities were aware of the capacity and safety issues but took no remedial action. The petitioner also raised concerns about simultaneous inquiries, including a parallel probe being conducted by the Bengaluru Urban deputy commissioner. DNA contended that being subjected to both violates Article 20(2) of the Constitution, which prohibits multiple proceedings for the same offence. After procedural scrutiny, the petition is expected to be listed for hearing shortly. In a related development, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice CM Joshi adjourned the hearing of a suo motu PIL on the matter to next Tuesday.

DNA Networks moves Karnataka HC against report of Commission of Inquiry on stampede
DNA Entertainment Networks Pvt. Ltd., an event management company, on Thursday moved the High Court of Karnataka challenging the report submitted by the one-man Commission of Inquiry on the incident of stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru during the victory celebrations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team on June 4. John Michael Cunha, a retired judge of the High Court of Karnataka, had conducted the inquiry under the provisions of the Commissions of Inquiry (CoI) Act, 1952, on the terms and reference notified by the State government, and submitted the report to the government on July 11. 'Biased manner' 'The commission seems to have proceeded in a biased manner as if it is a fault-finding commission rather than a fact-finding commission, and thus report is vitiated,' it has been alleged in the petition while pointing out that a copy of the report was not given to the petitioner even though it was leaked to the media. Finding several flaws in the 'hastily' conducted inquiry proceedings, the DNA has alleged that the entire inquiry process would be violative of the principles of natural justice and contrary to the provisions of the CoI Act, 1952, as no opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses was given to it. '...the haste with which the respondents conducted the inquiry gives the impression that the government wanted to save its skin and that the Commission of Inquiry was a mere eyewash in order to pacify the general public and to deflect the blame from itself by making innocent persons such as the petitioner and its officials a scapegoat,' it has been alleged in the petition. DNA, which participated in the inquiry proceedings before the commission, has also contended that it was not given a copy of the depositions of its witnesses and the other witnesses as well as the documents marked in spite of the making written request in this regard. It has also been claimed in the petition that the commission failed to give a personal hearing as per the provisions of the Act before making any adverse remarks that could prejudicially affect reputation of any person, despite the request in this regard made by the representative of the DNA.
