An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in Bihar's Madhubani district allegedly opened fire on villagers after being caught inside a woman's house, resulting in the death of a 50-year-old man and injuries to three others. The accused ASI, Chandra Mohan Singh, was posted at a police picket in Balirajgarh village. According to police, the ASI had been visiting the house frequently, reportedly due to an illicit relationship with a woman there. The incident occurred around 1 am on Tuesday when villagers caught the ASI inside the house and locked him in a room. As he attempted to escape, he fired several rounds from his service revolver, injuring four people. The ASI has been suspended, and a murder case has been registered against him. Police are currently searching for the absconding officer.
The incident has led to heightened tensions between local residents and the police, with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav criticizing the Bihar government and accusing the police force of becoming perpetrators of crime. Yadav questioned why senior district officials had not been transferred despite repeated incidents of alleged police violence in Madhubani.
