Tejashwi Yadav on firing incident
On the firing incident in Patna, former Bihar deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said, "Crime is increasing day by day in the state. We have been saying several times that there is not a single day when more than two hundred rounds of bullets are not fired in Bihar. It happens every day. Kidnapping is happening everywhere in Patna. You can see this in many places. People are tortured in police custody. They die in custody, and no one answers it. The Chief Minister has nothing to do with it. If only follows what his officials tell him."
