Shameful incident at shelter home in Bihar

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had been known for good governance. That is why he was also called 'Sushasn Babu. But now, the tag of sushasan appears to be slipping off him. He came out of Grand Alliance only due to deteriorating law and order situation and rising crime in the state and he considered his alliance partner RJD workers and leaders for it. So, to maintain his image of governing the state well, he came out of it and formed a government with BJP under NDA banner which he had left after more than 20 years of association in 2014 to fight assembly elections in 2015 with Congress and RJD. But since he formed govt. with BJP in Bihar last year again, the law and order situation continued to deteriorate. The incidents of rape, murder, kidnapping, extortion continued to appear in the newspapers at regular intervals. CM Nitish Kumar has so far done nothing in the last one year to tighten law and order in the state. The horrifying stories emerging from the shelter home in Muzaffarpur about the 29 girls, who were sexually assaulted. The girls were duped, drugged and raped. They were tortured beyond any imagination. The girls, who told the state women Commission Chairperson their misery, raise the hair on its end. The operators and the visitors to the shelter home allegedly raped and beat the girls mercilessly. They were treated worse than animals. They were so much fearful of the operators and visitors of the shelter home that they did not ever tell their misery to the visiting state women commission members that they were treated so badly. When any official visited the shelter home and asked the girls what problems were being faced by them, they did not tell anything as oppressors always sitting by their side. All these incidents of crime show that law and order in the state is deteriorating day and day and there is law fear of law in the state. Nitish Kumar in this stint of power does not deserve to be given any credit for governing the state well. RJD is undoubtedly the largest political party in the state. Its boss Lalu Prasad is facing corruption cases and going in and out of jails frequently. Despite the taint of corruption with RJD supremo, it has still its strong grip on its vote bank of Yadav and Muslim. RJD is attacking the Nitish Kumar govt. day and night. It is the responsibility of the Bihar govt. to order for a thorough probe of what happened in the shelter home in Muzaffarpur. This incident is a blot on the head of the state It is the shameful incident and the perpetrators of this crime must be awarded deterrent punishment. The reports of repeated sexual abuse of inmates at the short stay home in Muzaffarpur came to light after Mumbai’s Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) carried out a social audit of shelter homes across Bihar last year. The Institute submitted its report in April this year. The govt. lodged a first information report on May 31.
