Tejashwi Yadav raises Samastipur minor girl assault, slams NDA

Synopsis

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav shared a third video from Samastipur alleging molestation of a minor girl, targeting PM Modi and Bihar's NDA government for law-and-order failures and what he called selective silence on crimes in BJP-ruled states.

Key Takeaways

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav posted a third video from Samastipur on 26 September 2026 alleging molestation and exploitation of a minor girl.
Yadav highlighted that Samastipur is the home district of Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister, framing it as a governance accountability issue.
He directly named PM Narendra Modi , accusing him of appointing a Chief Minister allegedly facing seven murder charges , though this could not be independently verified.
Yadav pre-empted NDA's expected deflection tactics — calling them out for framing incidents as 'stray events', invoking caste, or reverting to events from 2005 .
He called out zero accountability in Bihar's police and administration, alleging powerful officers are concentrated in high-crime zones.
The post is part of a broader, sustained RJD campaign against the NDA dispensation on women's safety in Bihar.

A third video from Samastipur — showing what RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav describes as molestation and exploitation of another minor girl — has become the centrepiece of a sharp political broadside on Saturday, 26 September 2026, with the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly directly challenging the NDA government's record on women's safety in the state.

Posting the video, Yadav wrote — 'फिर एक और नाबालिग लड़की के साथ समस्तीपुर में बदसलूकी और शोषण!' ('Yet again, molestation and exploitation of a minor girl in Samastipur!') — and underlined what he called the geography of accountability: Samastipur is, he noted, the home district of the state's Deputy Chief Minister. 'If watching this video does not break your heart,' Yadav wrote, 'your conscience and humanity are dead. Imagine if this were your sister or daughter.'

Three videos, one district — and a question of command

The post refers explicitly to a third such video from Samastipur, framing it as a pattern rather than an isolated incident. Yadav directly named Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his post, accusing him of appointing a Chief Minister whom he described — without the allegation being independently verifiable — as someone accused in seven murder cases, and arguing that the state's law-and-order machinery is consequently failing women and girls.

He challenged the BJP-led NDA coalition's response culture head-on: 'PM is very selective — on crimes in BJP-ruled states, he shuts his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.' The accusation of selective moral indignation over crime is a recurring fault line in Indian opposition politics, but three videos from the same district in rapid succession sharpens the specificity of the charge considerably.

The pre-emptive counter Yadav anticipates

Yadav went further, naming the deflection playbook he expects NDA ministers to deploy — dismissing incidents as 'chhitput ghatna' ('stray incidents'), reframing the response as 'dignified moral policing', searching for the accused's caste to communalise the narrative, or redirecting attention to 2005, a year he notes pointedly when 'neither the accused nor the victim had even been born yet.' The reference to 2005 is a pointed dig at BJP's standard counter-narrative around RJD's own tenure in Bihar.

The post closes with a direct indictment of police accountability: 'No accountability fixed on the administration and police — where there is more crime, that is where the most powerful officer sits.'

Bihar's women-safety debate and what comes next

Bihar has been a recurring flashpoint for debates over crimes against women, with opposition parties — led most consistently by Yadav's RJD — using specific incidents to press the NDA dispensation on policing and administrative responsibility. The specific legal status of the Samastipur FIRs and any official police response remain unconfirmed as of publication.

What is clear: when a senior opposition leader names the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister's alleged criminal record, and the Deputy CM's home district in a single post alongside a viral video, the political and administrative pressure on Bihar's NDA government to respond publicly is immediate — and unavoidable.

Point of View

Verifiable geography (Samastipur, the Deputy CM's district) to localise accountability and make it impossible for the ruling coalition to deflect with abstract national-level statistics. The pre-emptive framing of NDA's likely counter-narrative — caste-searching, 'stray incident' labelling, the 2005 redirect — is strategically sophisticated: it boxes in BJP's response space before a reply is even issued. The reference to three consecutive videos from the same district escalates the story from a crime report to a systemic indictment, which is precisely the transition RJD needs ahead of any state-level accountability debate in the Bihar assembly.
