Controversy in Rohtas: Police Firing Incident Sparks Outrage

A DSP and constable in Bihar have been removed from their posts following a police firing incident in Rohtas that killed a man and injured two others. Allegations suggest the firing was in self-defense during a scuffle, but the case has been transferred to the CID for further investigation.

In a significant development, Bihar Police have taken action by removing a DSP-rank officer and a constable following a controversial police firing in the Rohtas district. The firing incident, which led to the death of a 32-year-old man and injured two others, is under investigation by the state's CID.

The officers removed from their posts in Sasaram include DSP (Traffic) Mhd. Adil Belal and Constable Chandramaouli Nagia. The decision follows allegations that the officers fired on a group of people in self-defense during a December 18 confrontation near the Nagar Nigam office, which resulted in the death of Rana Om Prakash Singh.

The case, which has sparked outrage and demands for accountability, saw immediate registration of FIRs by both the police and the victim's family, who alleged extortion attempts. The incident has prompted demands for strict enforcement of law and order by Bihar Minister Neeraj Singh Babloo.
