Lalu says attempt to discredit govt . 

Hajipur/Patna : An engineer was found murdered in Bihar Vaishali district on Tuesday, the second such incident in four days after two engineers were shot dead in broad daylight in Darbhanga for apparently defying extortionists’ demand for protection money.The body of Ankit Jha (42), with multiple injury marks, was spotted by locals in an orchard in Kashipur village within Rajapakar police station limits and police was informed.Superintendent of Police Rakesh Kumar said the victim was a quality engineer with Reliance IT. It was confirmed on the basis of

a diary and identity card recovered from the pocket of the deceased. The motive behind the murder of Jha, whose jurisdiction was entire north Bihar, was yet to be ascertained, the SP said. The incident followed the gunning down of two engineers of a private road construction company by motorcycle-borne assailants on Saturday on Darbhanga-Kusheshwarsthan state highway in Darbhanga district, apparently after they defied the diktat of a criminal gang for protection money. Brajesh Kumar and Mukesh Kumar, employed with road construction company M/S BSCCNC, were shot dead near Shivram Chowk when they were supervising laying of a road.

Meanwhile, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, whose party is a coalition partner in the Nitish Kumar government, has said those who had challenged the law and order during his rule were at it again. “Those who had challenged law and order during my rule are doing it all over again,” Lalu, facing accusations from the opposition of having brought back ‘Jungle Raj’, told reporters in Patna. At a hurriedly called press conference at his 10,Circular Road residence, Lalu gave some lessons to the chief minister Nitish Kumar on policing too. Lalu said he had asked Nitish to punish the DMs, SPs of the districts where heinous crimes were taking place. The concerned officer in charge of the police stations should also be punished, Lalu said. He said, “During my period too, high-profile criminals were active and they got support of some senior officers who defamed me”. Good and competent officers should be posted as DMs and SPs and inefficient and corrupt should be punished, Lalu told Nitish.
