The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar Leader of Opposition (LoP) Tejashwi Yadav was detained on Wednesday during a protest march to the Lok Bhavan in Patna over the alleged use of AK-47 rifles during a student demonstration and wider issues like unemployment and education.
Yadav had announced the march to protest the police action during the student agitation and to demand accountability over the firing incident. If the DM gave permission, he should be suspended. Meanwhile, police resorted to water cannons to disperse the crowd carrying out a foot march towards Lok Bhavan.
Three people were injured in the firing, while the police personnel seen using an AK-47 was later suspended, according to reports. “We have heard that the Bihar government in the Supreme Court has admitted that the AK-47 was used (against students). The Bihar govt should have been asked by the court who permitted the use of AK-47 in a protest.
Speaking to the reporters Bihar assembly LoP said that the government will have to bow down as police used water cannon to disperse protesters during a foot march towards Lok Bhavan in Patna. This Bihar govt is killing the future of students of Bihar,” said Bharti.
