Bihar CM Faces Criticism Over Social Media Post Revealing Minor Victim's Identity
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary faced criticism from opposition RJD leaders, including Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti, for allegedly revealing the identity of a minor girl molested in Jamui by posting a photograph with her family on social media. The post was quickly deleted, but the opposition accused Choudhary of violating the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and demanded legal action. The Bihar Police have registered FIRs against others sharing videos revealing the victim's identity. Government officials defended the CM, emphasizing outreach and denying legal violations amid ongoing debates on women's safety and police accountability in Bihar.
