A shocking chain of violence in Bihar’s Araria district has ignited a political firestorm, with RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav holding the state government squarely responsible for crumbling law and order.
Thursday’s horror unfolded in Forbesganj when a sattu seller, enraged over vehicle parking, hacked a truck driver to death with a sharp weapon. In a swift act of vengeance, the victim’s relatives and locals hunted down the assailant and beat him to death, all in full public view.
Tejashwi Yadav, addressing the assembly, questioned the NDA regime’s competence: ‘What bigger proof of failed governance? A man beheads another in the market, walks around with the head, and police vanish into thin air.’
On social media, he lambasted the ruling BJP-JDU for prioritizing ‘CM chair politics’ over public safety. ‘Sand and liquor mafias thrive while citizens live in terror. This isn’t NDA rule—it’s a recipe for disaster,’ Yadav posted, linking the brutality to broader societal poison from government propaganda.
The dual killings have triggered statewide debates on vigilante justice and police apathy. Experts warn that such incidents erode trust in institutions, potentially spiraling into widespread unrest. With elections looming, the government faces mounting pressure to overhaul its security apparatus and restore faith among the masses.
