Chirag Paswan Demands Decisive Crackdown After Minor Molested in Samastipur

A wave of intense public outrage and political confrontation has gripped Bihar after a disturbing molestation case involving a minor girl surfaced in Samastipur, coming just days after a similar high-profile atrocity in Jamui. The incident took place along the Dam Bypass Road in Jagatsinghpur village, falling under the jurisdiction of the Karpurigram police station, and triggered swift law enforcement mobilization once a video capturing the harassment circulated across social media networks. While district police moved in rapidly to verify identities and arrest four individuals, Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan termed the recurring violations deeply shameful and unacceptable, calling directly upon the state administration and Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary to execute uncompromising, deterrent action against perpetrators.Echoes of Jamui: Outrage Over Consecutive Public Atrocities Against MinorsThe Samastipur development follows closely on the heels of the heinous September 19 incident in Jamui, where two minor girls were subjected to traumatic abuse, an incident that similarly provoked state-wide fury after digital footage surfaced online. In the Jamui case, law enforcement arrested five accused persons, including prime suspect Nandan Yadav, who was nabbed following an armed encounter with police forces. Highlighting the back-to-back pattern of assaults in broad daylight, civil rights observers and opposition leaders have sharply questioned administrative vigilance and the efficacy of street-level policing across sensitive rural arterial roads and bypass corridors.Beyond Routine Arrests: Chirag Paswan Insists on Exemplary DeterrenceReacting strongly to the systemic safety deficit for women in public spaces, Chirag Paswan emphasized that standard bureaucratic detentions and routine FIR registrations alone will not suffice to restore public confidence or halt predatory offenders. Expressing sorrow and anger over the Jagatsinghpur crime, the Union Minister asserted that the administration must demonstrate the same uncompromising resolve seen in Jamui, where criminals faced active pursuit and armed containment. Paswan insisted that every co-conspirator visible in the viral footage must be booked under the strictest legal provisions, demanding that investigating agencies build airtight chargesheets to ensure speedy trials and exemplary judicial punishment that sends an unmistakable message across Bihar.
