LJP Rebukes Bihar BJP Over Samastipur Assault Video Rerun, RJD Hits CM for Identity Leak

LJP condemned the Bihar BJP after a shocking rerun of a Samastipur assault video, while RJD rebuked the chief minister for exposing a Jamui victim’s identity and questioned Modi.

The Lok Janshakti Party, a BJP ally in the state, publicly condemned the Bihar government after a video of a Samastipur assault was re‑aired, calling the rerun a shocking breach of protocol.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal criticised the Bihar chief minister for revealing the identity of a girl molested in Jamui, questioned Prime Minister Modi over both the Samastipur and Jamui incidents, and noted that three Bihar politicians made offensive remarks about the Jamui assault; the Janata Dal (United) described the situation as "worried".

A minister further remarked that similar sexual‑assault cases occur in the United States and Japan, underscoring the broader relevance of the issue beyond Bihar.

Why This Matters

The cross‑party backlash puts pressure on the BJP‑led coalition in Bihar, potentially destabilising its alliance with LJP and JD(U) while amplifying scrutiny of the chief minister's handling of sexual‑assault cases and the protection of victims' identities.
