A shocking comment on the rise in murder cases in Bihar has exposed the deep-seated corruption and misinformation within the state's police force.
According to the state's Additional Director General of Police (ADG) incharge of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Rashmi Mishra, there are more murders in the state from April to June every year because "farmers don't have work" during this period.
In the aftermath of a spate of murder cases in the state, Mishra was quoted as saying, "Farmers sit idle during this period and plan something wrong in the season," adding that the peak farming season between April to June kept farmers busy, and, "they do not find time to indulge in such activities."
While the ADG's bizarre justification for the rise in murder cases has shocked many, it has also laid bare the systemic issue of misinformation and lack of professional integrity within the police force.
In a stark reminder of the challenges of misinformation and its serious consequences, the ADG's official statement has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage among citizens who expect more earnest efforts to prevent crime, not excuses from those in the force.
As the state tries to regain its footing in maintaining law and order, one can only hope that this bizarre incident will be a catalyst for change, prioritizing honesty, and more effective strategies to curb crime.
In the meantime, this bizarre remark may have done more harm than good for the image of the police and farming communities in Bihar.
