Gunfire Erupts at Bihar's Samastipur Court, Injuring Prisoners; Security Increased Following Attack

An alarming incident unfolded at Bihar's Samastipur court on Saturday as miscreants fired shots, resulting in the injury of two prisoners who were present for a hearing. The attack occurred while legal proceedings were underway, causing chaos and concern within the premises. The injured prisoners, identified as Prabhat Chowdhary and Prabhat Tiwari, were promptly transported to the hospital for medical attention. The assailants managed to escape the scene after the attack.

The shooting happened in the context of the ongoing case involving mafia figure Prabhat Chowdhary, who was arrested and taken into custody thanks to the work of law enforcement and a technical team.

The accused was present during a court hearing when four suspects entered the building and opened fire, hurting his leg. Samastipur's top cop, Vinay Tiwari, says Prabhat Chowdhary is doing fine and doesn't face any imminent danger. The assault also resulted in the injury of another person.

Security on the court premises has been increased as a result of the event. The police are actively looking for the attackers, and further investigation into the incident is ongoing.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is one of the opposition parties that has voiced its displeasure with the coalition government led by Nitish Kumar as a result of this incident. Sushil Modi, a former deputy chief minister of Bihar, has voiced concern over the security of witnesses and the situation of law and order in the state.

Modi's remarks brought attention to the recent murder of a journalist who was a witness in a murder case in Araria, Bihar. A decline in law and order is believed to be at the root of a recent round of attacks on witnesses and law enforcement officers.

The shooting in the Samastipur court comes shortly after the murder of a journalist called Vimal Kumar Yadav in the neighbouring Araria district at the hands of unknown assailants. Concerns have been raised for the safety of those active in the judiciary and the media in Bihar in light of the recent attacks.
