Kishor said the probe must examine whether Bhojpur police acted on orders from senior officials in Patna after Bharat Tiwari was shot dead.
- On Wednesday, Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor visited Bharat Tiwari's village of Bilauti, about 100 kms from Patna, and met his family to question the role of "top officials sitting in Patna" in the recent police encounter.
- Critics blame the Samrat Choudhary government for allegedly emulating the "bulldozer justice" model of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Tiwari's family disputed police claims he was mentally unstable, noting he was a social activist whose posts provoked the local administration.
- During a public meeting, Kishor demanded the judicial inquiry investigate whether Bhojpur police acted independently or under instructions from state headquarters, insisting the probe "must dig deeper and fix accountability at the top" including the DGP and Home department.
- Senior minister Shrawon Kumar claimed the opposition is trying to "score political points," while Tiwari's family rejected government compensation and jobs, demanding accountability for his death instead.
- The ruling NDA faces jitters among influential Brahmins over the incident, threatening the BJP's standing in neighboring Uttar Pradesh ahead of assembly polls likely in about half a year.
