It is pertinent to mention here that the state is witnessing a recent surge in the crimes as a number of incidents pertaining to murder and violence against women have come to the fore lately, following which the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been alleging that the Nitish Kumar led government has failed measurably in containing the spurt in crime.
Let us tell you that earlier in a horrifying incident a woman from Araria was raped by three miscreants while her husband was being tied to a tent peg. In another incident reported from the state, a girl along with his music teacher was also thrashed by a group of people after they found them in an objectionable position.
