RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday launched a blistering attack on the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar, accusing it of "protecting" the alleged perpetrators of a couple of high-profile murders that took place in the State in the last couple of days.
Addressing a press conference in Patna, the leader of the Opposition sought to place the government in the dock an RTI activist cum freelance journalist in Madhubani and the husband of a District Councillor in Purnea, the latter incident being blamed on the close relative of a minister.
Rintu Singh, whose wife is a member of the Zila Parishad in Purnea, was shot dead by unidentified assailants on Friday night, and bereaved family members have named a nephew of Minister Lesi Singh as the prime accused.
