Patna, Feb 3 || The proceedings in the Bihar Legislative Assembly continued on the second day of the Budget Session, with heated exchanges during the post-Question Hour period.
An adjournment motion related to the alleged rape and murder of NEET aspirants was moved by CPI MLA Arun Singh (Karakat), which was rejected by the Speaker, though permission was granted for it to be read in the House.
Raising the issue, Arun Singh informed the Assembly that two girl students from Jehanabad and Aurangabad, who were preparing for the NEET examination while staying in a hostel in Patna, were allegedly subjected to rape and murder.
He said the incidents reflect a serious failure of the state government in ensuring women’s safety, maintaining law and order, and the effective functioning of the police administration.
The CPI MLA alleged that the police response had been negative from the very beginning, accusing them of initially denying the rape and murder and attempting to shield the culprits.
