Top Bihar police officer links crime surge to jobless farm workers, sparks outrage
A senior police officer in Bihar has blamed the recent spurt in crime in the state on seasonal unemployment among agricultural labourers. ADG (Headquarters) Kundan Krishnan made the remarks during an interaction with journalists on Wednesday evening. "Bihar has only two major crop seasons. Since there is no crop season between April and July, most farmhands remain unemployed during this period. Consequently, land-related clashes escalate. Some of them, especially the youth, even take up contract killings for quick money," Krishnan said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Murder cases increase mainly between May and July, he added. The comment has triggered outrage on social media, with many people accusing the officer of trying to come up with an excuse for failure to control law and order. Live Events Contacted by PTI on Thursday, he said, "Whatever I have said is backed by data. The data shows that this period (between May and July) of the year witnesses a spurt in violent crimes." According to data, Bihar recorded 217 murder cases in April and 284 in May. In 2024, 231 murders took place in April, 254 in May, 292 in June and 279 in July. In August, it came down to 249 cases. "In 2023, 215 murders were recorded in April, 279 in May, 278 in June and 270 in July. It came down to 250 in August," he said. "In 2022, the state witnessed 256 murders in April, 301 in May, 297 in June and 262 in July. Again it dipped to 257 in August", Krishnan added. Reacting to it, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav told PTI Videos, "This shows the incompetence of Bihar Police . They say crimes increase before monsoon. Law and order has collapsed in the state. While they (NDA) call their administration a double-engine government, I must say that one engine is of corruption and another is of crime".

"Safety is myth under BJP rule": Congress' Pawan Khera targets NDA govt over murder of businessman Gopal Khemka
Congress leader Pawan Khera came down heavily on the NDA government in Bihar over the prevailing law and order situation in the state, saying that safety has become a "myth" under their rule. His remarks came days after businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead near the main gate of his residence in Patna's Gandhi Maidan area. In a social media post on X, Khera wrote, "The BJP's governance model is Goonda Raj wrapped in a velvet glove of PR about "development". All optics, no order." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Alleging that 65,000 people have been murdered under NDA's watch, Khera took a jibe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar , stating that the Chief Minister has now become "Chief Spectator" of a daily carnage. The social media post reads, "In Bihar also, the NDA government never misses a chance to pat itself on the back for "improving" law and order - all while conveniently ignoring that, even as per official figures, nearly 65,000 people have been murdered under NDA's watch. The Chief Minister in reality is the Chief Spectator of a daily carnage." Live Events "Now, with the killing of businessman Gopal Khemka in Patna's posh Gandhi Maidan area, it's clear that under BJP rule, safety is a myth. No amount of money, influence, or power can ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. The bottomline is: BJP doesn't value human life. It only chases headlines, and even those are fake," the Congress leader alleged. Earlier today, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha , Rahul Gandhi launched an all-out attack on the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government in Bihar, alleging that Bihar has become "crime-capital" of India. The murder of the businessman has evoked sharp political reactions from the opposition parties and put the spotlight back on the law and order situation in the State, which is going to the polls in the next few months. In a post on social media platform X in hindi, Rahul Gandhi said, "The brazen murder of businessman Gopal Khemka in Patna has once again proven - the BJP and Nitish Kumar together have turned Bihar into "India's crime capital." Today, Bihar lives in the shadow of loot, gunfire, and murder. Crime has become the 'new normal' here - and the government is utterly ineffective" "Brothers and sisters of Bihar, this injustice can no longer be tolerated," he said. The former Congress President observed that a government that cannot ensure the safety of your children cannot be entrusted with your future either. "Every murder, every loot, every bullet - is a cry for change. Now is the time for a new Bihar - where there is no fear, only progress. This time, the vote is not just to change the government, but to save Bihar," he called on the voters ahead of the assembly elections. Bihar Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the murder case of businessman Gopal Khemka, who was allegedly shot dead in the south area of the Gandhi Maidan in Patna on Friday.
