Bihar: Leaders of different parties face to face on murder of VIP party chief Mukesh Sahani's father

Leaders of different political parties have reacted strongly to the murder of India bloc ally Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani's father in Bihar.

 

Jitan Sahani, father of Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani, was found murdered at his ancestral home in Bihar's Darbhanga district, police said on Tuesday.

Jitan Sahani's body, with several stab injuries and cut marks on his chest and stomach, was found inside his room at his house in Biraul area this morning.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav said that no political leader is safe in Bihar. The system has completely collapsed.

 

Yadav said, "What is happening in Bihar. There is not a single day when there is no news of murder. The administration has become completely paralyzed. There is a mindless government in Bihar. The authorities are doing nothing. Till now, no one would even know that any incident has happened in Bihar. The system has collapsed in Bihar. The state is at the mercy of God."

 

RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari said, "When the family of a politician is not safe in Bihar, then the common people are at the mercy of God."

 

At the same time, Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from Purnia, said, "Murders, incidents and exploitation of girls are happening continuously in Bihar. The whole of Bihar is in the clutches of criminals. Bihar is being run by the nexus of criminals and politicians. What happened to Nitish Babu's good governance? Is this good governance?''

Kharge demands justice

Condemning the brutal murder of Mukesh Sahani's father, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded strict action against the culprits at the earliest and justice for his INDIA bloc partner.

In a post in Hindi on X, Kharge said, "The brutal murder of Shri Jitan Sahani, father of Shri Mukesh Sahani, founder of Vikassheel Insaan Party in Bihar and former state minister, is extremely sad and condemnable."

"We express our deepest condolences to his family. May God give them the strength to bear this loss," Kharge said.

"We demand that strict action be taken against the culprits at the earliest and that our INDIA bloc partner, Sahani ji, should get justice," the Congress chief said.

SIT has been formed to investigate: Bihar minister

 

Bihar government minister Nitin Naveen said that an SIT has been formed to investigate the murder.

 

He said, ''The reason for the murder could be personal enmity. There could be some other reasons as well. The truth will come out through investigation. Now some people are talking of jungle raj. Jungle raj was when criminals used to hide in Tejashwi Yadav's house and carry out their activities from there.''

 

At the same time, Union Minister and BJP MP Giriraj Singh said, ''The case of the murder of Mukesh Sahani's father is not a political issue. I express grief over the murder of Mukesh Sahani's father and the criminal will not be able to escape. The state government is serious about this matter.''

 

Another BJP leader Ajay Alok said, "Whoever is murdered, it is a heinous crime... It will be exposed within 72 hours... In a civilized society, you cannot stop crime no matter how capable you are."

 
VIP chief expresses hope accused will be held

 

VIP chief Mukesh Sahani has reacted to the murder of his father.

 

While talking to the media, he said, "Hopefully, whoever has carried out this murder will soon be in police custody."

 

He said, "I got information about my father's murder on the phone. After the incident, Union Home Minister Amit Shah called me and inquired about the case. Apart from the top police officials, I have received calls from many politicians regarding the murder."

 

"The police is investigating the case at every level. I hope that whoever has carried out this murder will soon be arrested by the police."

 

Mukesh Sahani's father Jitan Sahani was murdered in his house in Biraul Bazaar of Darbhanga on Monday night.
