The father of Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani was killed in Darbhanga, Bihar. The Bihar police have formed a special investigation team to probe the case.

The Bihar Police stated, “SIT has been formed for quick investigation in the murder case under Ghanshyampur police station of Darbhanga district. Senior officials are camping at the incident site. The FSL team has been called to the spot to collect scientific evidence. Law and order is normal.”
Political Reactions
RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari accused the BJP JDU government of running a ‘Jungle-Raaj’ and demanded answers from the state government. He said, “Former Bihar Minister Mukesh Sahani’s father has been brutally murdered. This is extremely unfortunate… If the families of leaders are not safe in Bihar, it clearly means that the common man is at the mercy of god… Why are BJP and NDA leaders quiet on this? They should come out and speak up. This is ‘maha-jungleraaj’.”
Representatives of the state government accused the opposition of playing politics and said that an investigation was being carried out. Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said, “Action will be taken and the accused will be put behind bars. The government stands with Mukesh Sahani’s family.” Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin added, “SIT has been formed with immediate effect and the matter is being investigated. The probable causes of the murder seem to be personal enmity or other major reasons… The government will investigate the matter with immediate effect and the truth will be revealed to the people… Jungle Raaj was when the criminals hid in Tejashwi Yadav’s residence and operated from there. In our government, the criminals know that they will be punished for their crimes sooner or later.”
