Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on August 13, 2026 that the state will give financial assistance and a government job to a family member of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari, killed in an alleged police encounter on June 17 at Bilauti village in Bhojpur. The announcement follows an interim report from a judicial probe ordered by the cabinet. The encounter became a political controversy after a video of the incident went viral. The Hindu reports that a murder case was registered against five suspended police personnel, and the policeman who allegedly fired first, Akshay Kumar, has been arrested.
