Begusarai firing case: Seven policemen suspended, Nitish government on target of opposition

In Bihar's Begusarai, a person was killed by criminals in indiscriminate firing on Tuesday evening. At the same time, nine people are currently undergoing treatment after being shot. The local police has formed several teams to arrest the culprits guilty in this incident. Also, seven policemen have been suspended for negligence in patrolling. There was an atmosphere of chaos in Begusarai's Sadar Hospital on Tuesday evening. The nine people who entered here were fired upon by two motorcycle-borne criminals at four places between Phulwaria to Chakia on National Highway-28. Ten people were shot dead, out of which one person, Chandan Kumar, died on the spot.

This is the first incident of such crime in the state in recent times. Bihar Police is saying that even though the perpetrators of this incident want to create an atmosphere of panic, but the local police has also made a mistake. That is why seven policemen have been suspended.

However, after this incident, the opposition BJP is leaving no stone unturned to surround the state government and today BJP leaders were seen from the hospital to the crematorium.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also called the DGP and ordered the arrest of the criminals, but he also knows that until more is known about this case, he will have to face criticism for the delay.
