Two civilians are dead and two more critically wounded after a Bihar Police ASI allegedly opened fire inside a family home in Babubarhi, Madhubani — and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is turning the incident into a full-throated indictment of the state government's law-and-order record on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

According to Tejashwi's post, ASI Chandramohan Singh of the Bihar Police entered the home of Ashok Yadav in Babubarhi and allegedly attempted to sexually assault a woman in the family. When relatives raised an alarm and resisted, the ASI allegedly fired from his service revolver, killing Ashok Yadav and Phoolo Devi on the spot. Two others sustained injuries and are in a serious condition.

A Pattern Tejashwi Calls Systematic, Not Isolated

The Leader of the Opposition did not frame the Madhubani incident as a one-off failure. He linked it to a string of recent police-conduct cases: the alleged shooting death of Jagatveer Rai by a sub-inspector in Muzaffarpur, the killing of Roshan Yadav in Madhubani, and the death of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari in Buxar. He also pointed to a rise in custody deaths across the state, presenting the sequence as evidence of institutional collapse rather than individual wrongdoing.

His sharpest line was directed at the Chief Minister himself — whom he called 'hatiyara mukhyamantri' (murderer Chief Minister), a reference to long-standing RJD allegations about criminal cases against the incumbent. 'Ever since a Chief Minister accused of seven murders came to power, the police themselves have become the criminals,' he wrote. 'The guardians have become the predators.'

Transfer Industry and Administrative Accountability

Tejashwi reserved pointed criticism for the administrative response — or its absence. Despite repeated alleged crimes by police personnel in Madhubani, he noted, neither the District Magistrate nor the Superintendent of Police of the district has been transferred. Yet at the state level, officer postings and transfers happen daily, which he characterised as a 'transfer industry' run by the Chief Minister and his family for personal gain.

This argument taps into a well-worn opposition playbook in Bihar politics: connecting individual governance failures to accusations of selective administrative action — protecting local officials who are politically useful while weaponising transfers against others. The charge has been a recurring flashpoint across multiple governments in the state.

What the Government Has Not Yet Said

As of the time of this report, no formal statement or inquiry order from the Bihar government on the Babubarhi shooting or the broader pattern of incidents cited by Tejashwi has been publicly announced. The absence of an official response to a sitting opposition leader's direct, named accusations on a matter of alleged police killings is itself a political data point.

Bihar's opposition has consistently used social media amplification of law-and-order incidents to build a counter-narrative ahead of electoral cycles — and with specific names, a specific village, and a specific accusation against a named officer now in public circulation, the pressure for an official response will be difficult to ignore.
