Jamui Assault: Jamui Assault: JD(U) Prez Calls Incident 'Chitput Ghatna' Amid National Outrage Over Women's Safety

Two Class 10 students were brutally harassed on the Jamui-Lakhisarai road in Bihar while returning from tuition. The attackers assaulted the victims, recorded the crime, and shared the video online. Bihar Police quickly formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and registered a case under the POCSO Act, apprehending all seven primary suspects—including prime accused Nandan Yadav, who was shot in the leg during a police encounter.

However, as the incident sparked national outrage regarding women's safety, JD(U) State President Umesh Singh Kushwaha called the brutal assault a "Chitput Ghatna" (minor/petty incident). Meanwhile, several other political leaders made further controversial remarks, downplaying the incident or claiming that such crimes cannot easily be prevented by police
