Modi counters claims of Nitish on taking swift action against criminals

Patna, May 30 (UNI) Former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi countered the claim of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on taking swift action against criminals involved in the recent sensational cases and came out with a list of cases of political killings, in which no accused had been arrested so far. Mr Kumar while addressing a function in Muzaffarpur yesterday had dared the opposition parties to name any incident of other states, where such a stringent action was taken against culprits, while referring to the murder case of a journalist in Siwan and road rage killing in Gaya. Mr Modi here said that Mr Kumar was making a hollow claim that his government had taken stern action against the culprits involved in sensational killings. A senior BJP leader Bisheshwar Ojha was killed in Bhojpur district recently, but both the main accused in the case were still roaming about and police remained only a mute spectator, he added. "Haresh Mishra and Umakant Mishra, involved in Bisheshwar Ojha murder case, had conversation with a senior RJD leader on the day of killing and call records of their cell phones also established the fact, but police did not arrest them so far", Mr Modi said, adding that they had not even been interrogated in this connection. The former deputy chief minister said that a senior LJP leader Brijnathi Singh was killed under Bakhtiyarpur police station area in Patna district in the recent past, but criminals involved in murder were still at large. Main accused in the case Subodh Rai was closely associated with RJD leader Bhola Rai, he alleged. UNI KKS AKM RJ VN2147
