Patna: The police on Friday arrested RJD MLA Virendra Singh’s son Kunal for allegedly stabbing a person in Aurangabad district for not obeying his orders.
According to the reports coming from Aurangabad, the incident took place due to political enmity between Kunal and the victim who is also a small-time political worker.
According to the victim Bunty, he was on his bike when Kunal and his men stopped and stabbed him. “I was stabbed by Kunal because I had refused to obey his orders. He always wanted me to work for him but I am a worker of Swaraj Party and had told him that earlier. I think he had stopped me with an intention to kill me,” Bunty said on Saturday after he was referred to Patna for treatment.
The incident has once again raised questions on the functioning of the Grand Secular Alliance government which has been facing criticism from the
opposition over deteriorating law and order in Bihar.
RJD MLA Virendra Singh, however, alleged that his son was innocent and that Bunty, who is of criminal background, may have been trying to overtake Kunal’s car with an intention to murder him.
He said, “I think he injured himself and is now shifting the blame on my son to malign my image. I am sure truth will come out soon”. This is the second case within the span of four months in which son of ruling party MLA was arrested for defying law in Bihar. Earlier on May 7, a teenaged student Aditya was killed by JD (U) legislator Manorama Devi’s son Rocky Yadav for overtaking his car in Gaya.
