Bihar Minister's Comments on Jamui Harassment Case Spark Controversy

During a press conference in Patna, the Bihar minister remarked that the "Chhitputh ghatna hoti rehti hai" in the context of a harassment case in Jamui, a statement that was quickly criticized by opposition parties. The case, which involves allegations of sexual harassment against a local official, has been under investigation for several months. Opposition leaders accused the minister of downplaying the seriousness of the incident and demanded a thorough probe by an independent committee. The minister defended his comments as a reflection of the recurring nature of such incidents in the district, but the remarks have sparked a broader debate about accountability and victim protection in Bihar. The state government has yet to respond formally to the criticism.
