I attempted to speak with the SHO of the Rasulpur, Chhapra police station as well as the Chhapra SP, but neither responded. Today, the SP hung my call up twice, the third day after I called, stating that he was busy.

Qureshi and beat him mercilessly with clubs, rods, and sharp objects in an attempt to break his arm. As Naseeb's condition deteriorated, one of them phoned the police and reported that an accident had occurred. +
@bihar_police should explain why the action has been so lackadaisical up to this point. Why haven't the other accused been arrested yet? When will @NitishKumar and @yadavtejashwi government pay the family compensation?
@SaranPolice When will you arrest the rest of the accused?
