RJD's Reaction To Rape and Viral Video
RJD leaders criticised the state government over the incident. The party’s official handle stated that a woman was subjected to rape at knifepoint and that an obscene video was made and circulated on social media. It alleged that police registered the FIR only after the video went viral. Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav described the incident as heinous and claimed that an atmosphere of insecurity and injustice prevailed in Bihar. He said the state was being ruled in a manner that left women vulnerable and criticised the silence of the central government.
In another post, RJD questioned why such crimes occur, alleging that criminals act with the belief that the government is ineffective and the police are corrupt. The party said action is taken only when videos go viral and public pressure mounts, while many other cases of serious crime see little response.
