Bihar: An FIR has been registered against RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav and other unnamed party workers, following a protest by the Opposition against the Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 in Bihar Assembly on Tuesday.
Earlier, the Opposition in Bihar Assembly took an aggressive stand against the Police Bill by creating a ruckus and not allowing the Speaker to leave his chamber. The opposing legislators alleged that the new bill gives a free hand and impunity to the State police in matters related to arrest without warrant and custodial deaths.
