Meanwhile, the Opposition is expected to corner the NDA government over Bharat Bhushan Tiwari's police encounter. The incident has sparked controversy after a Facebook Live video, recorded shortly before the shooting, appeared to show Tiwari throwing away his pistol toward police personnel.

While the family claims he had surrendered and was shot despite being unarmed, Bhojpur Police have maintained that he fired multiple rounds at the police team, prompting retaliatory firing in self-defence.

Following complaints by Tiwari's family, Bihar Police registered an FIR against the Jagdishpur DSP, Shahpur SHO and other police personnel in connection with the alleged wrongful killing. The investigation into the case is underway.

Meanwhile, the Assembly Session also comes ahead of the high-profile bypolls for the Bankipur Assembly constituency in Bihar. The seat fell vacant after BJP president Nitin Nabin resigned as an MLA, going for the Rajya Sabha seat.
