Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary Promises Action in Killing of VIP Chief Mukesh Sahani’s Father
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has assured action following the killing of Jitan Sahani, father of Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani. Choudhary stated, “Action will be taken and the accused will be put behind bars. The government stands with Mukesh Sahani’s family.”
Jitan Sahani was allegedly killed at his residence in Darbhanga on Monday night. The local police, who reached the spot, confirmed the incident. This event has intensified political discourse in Bihar, with RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav criticizing the Nitish Kumar government for a breakdown in law and order. Yadav remarked, “No day goes by without a murder…The Chief Minister is in an unconscious state of mind.”
RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari echoed similar sentiments, condemning the incident as a reflection of ‘Jungle-Raaj’ under the BJP-JDU regime. Tiwari asserted, “If the families of leaders are not safe in Bihar, it clearly means that the common man is at the mercy of god.”
In response, JDU leader Neeraj Kumar defended the state’s efforts, stating, “The police will find out the accused… We have faith in the police investigation.” He urged political opponents to cooperate with authorities to ensure justice for the Sahani family.
Union ministers Ramnath Thakur and Giriraj Singh also pledged government action, emphasizing that the investigation was ongoing and promising justice for the victim’s family. Giriraj Singh affirmed, “The accused will not be spared. The State government is taking the matter seriously.”
Local police continue to investigate the murder, deploying senior officers to examine every angle of the case. Jitan Sahani, a former Bihar government minister, was a prominent figure within the VIP Party led by his son, Mukesh Sahani. The tragedy comes amidst a backdrop of political realignments ahead of the state’s upcoming challenges.
