Bihar BJP president commenting on the Jamui incident and the police investigation
“Such incidents cannot be accepted in a civilised society under any circumstances. One cannot condemn it enough... The police registered an FIR, formed an SIT, and arrested three people as soon as the incident came to light. The police are continuously conducting raids to arrest the main accused, who will be arrested soon.”

“But the people who revealed the identity of the victim on social media are also at fault. One’s identity can’t be revealed on social media in such cases. People who revealed the minor’s identity will be punished too.”
