Opposition Corners Nitish Government Over Alarming Rise in Crime in Bihar

|The Statesman Siliguri
The alarming rise in crime in Bihar has given ammunition to the Opposition parties to attack Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has been using every platform to raise the issue of the poor law and order situation during the Lalu-Rabri rule.
A group of armed criminals barged into a jewellery shop in Ara, Bhojpur, on Monday, took the staff on duty hostage at gunpoint after pushing off the security guard and ran away with jewellery worth over Rs 25 crore.
Several MLAs of the Opposition parties, led by Rabri Devi, protested at the Bihar Legislative Council on Tuesday accusing the state government of protecting criminals.
