Patna, Jan 14 : While the police in Patna are facing criticism over the sensational murder of an Indigo state head, a section of people in Bihar are apprehensive that they might be entering into a phase of Jungle Raj 2.0 .
Indigo airlines station manager, Rupesh Kumar Singh (40), was allegedly shot dead by criminals near the Shastri Nagar police station area in Patna on Tuesday.
The murder of the Indigo state head brings back the fearful memories of Airtel GM s murder at Bahadurpur Gumti in Patna in 2005, the kidnapping of Bharat Singh and a series of criminal acts which took place during the Lalu Prasad-Rabri Devi regime between 1990 and 2005. The high crime rate during that period even led to the downfall of the RJD in 2005.
People visit Dimna Lake in Jamshedpur on Sunday
JAMSHEDPUR: With the dip in mercury, Steel City residents are making a beeline for picnic spots, including some unconventional ones as the regular and popular locations are shut in view of the outbreak.
On Sunday, many were seen making merry in Dimma Lake and the pandemic and the lack of enough number of proper spots is hardly going to deter people from going out, according to Sonari-based Sarbani Maity. She said, “Every year, we have a number of picnics at various locations in the city and it’ll be no different this year. Although the options in terms of the number of spots are limited this time , that is not going to stop us from letting our hair down.” She urged the government to open the parks and assured them that all safety protocols will be followed to the hilt.
