Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary faced strong opposition criticism from the RJD after allegedly sharing a photo revealing Jamui molestation survivor's identity online, prompting calls for an FIR. Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, launched a severe verbal attack against the Chief Minister, labeling him 'foolish and inept'.
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary drew sharp criticism from the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Thursday, September 24, after he allegedly posted a photograph on social media revealing the identity of a minor girl recently molested in the Jamui district. The controversy erupted following a meeting between the survivor, her family, and the Chief Minister in Patna, where officials stated that assurances were given for a speedy trial and the strictest possible punishments for the perpetrators.
Social Media Post and Quick Retraction
Chief Minister Choudhary shared a photograph of himself alongside the victim and her family members on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. However, the post was pulled down shortly after being uploaded. Jamui Viral Video: Samrat Chaudhary's 'Reel Banane Ke Chakkar Mein Mare Ja Rahe' Remark Sparks Row.

Before the post was removed, RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav captured screenshots, which he subsequently shared online to target the ruling dispensation.
Sharp Rebuke From Opposition Leaders
Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, launched a severe verbal attack against the Chief Minister, labeling him “foolish and inept”. Yadav accused Choudhary of directly violating the legal mandates safeguarding minors. “The Chief Minister of Bihar should receive the harshest possible punishment for this crime; otherwise, who will respect the POCSO Act?,” Yadav stated. The screenshot was also amplified by Yadav’s elder sister and RJD Member of Parliament from Patliputra, Misa Bharti.

Bharti publicly urged the Bihar Police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against the Chief Minister. She asserted that Choudhary had compromised the minor's identity - noting the irony that law enforcement had simultaneously been booking individuals who uploaded videos of the initial incident for violating the girl's privacy. Representatives from the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) did not immediately issue formal statements regarding the backlash.
