RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav hit out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after three unidentified chain snatchers shot a BJP leader early Monday morning in Patna.
In a post on X, Yadav alleged that crime is flourishing in Bihar and that NDA leaders are unaware. He said the Chief Minister has failed to do his job as he is exhausted and busy with other matters.
“Crime is flourishing in Bihar under the protection of the government. Criminals are shooting people whenever and wherever they want and escaping. In the video, the criminals can be seen fleeing after shooting a BJP leader. NDA leaders are oblivious to the rising crime. Bihar is not being managed at all by the exhausted Chief Minister, who is preoccupied elsewhere,” Yadav wrote in the post in Hindi.
As per reports, BJP leader Shyam Sundar Sharma had gone to get an auto to drop his relative at the station when three men on a two-wheeler approached him on Monday morning. They tried to snatch Sharma’s chain, but he resisted. In a moment, one of the assailants pulled out a gun, shot Sharma, and fled with his accomplices.
CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced on social media and is currently going viral.
