Women’s Safety

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary sparked controversy after saying critics could find only five videos of sexual assault and molestation in the State. The Opposition RJD criticised the remark, arguing that even one such incident should be treated seriously.

Union minister and LJP (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan criticised the Bihar government over reported cases involving minor girls, questioned the police response and said he would continue raising the issue despite being part of the ruling NDA.

The RJD accused Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary of exposing a minor survivor’s identity after a photograph appeared briefly on his official X account. His remarks about the video that helped police identify suspects also drew political criticism.
