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.
