The Story in Brief
BJP MLA Rakesh Ranjan Ojha has filed an FIR against four people, including Bhagalpur Special Central Jail superintendent Rajiv Kumar Jha, alleging a conspiracy to kill him. The complaint is based on a letter received by the MLA on July 8 that claimed two inmates and the superintendent were plotting the murder with a hand grenade or time bomb. Bhojpur Superintendent of Police Raj said an FIR was registered under sections 351(2) and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and that investigations are underway.
The MLA's father, former BJP state vice-president Visheshwar Ojha, was murdered in 2016. The letter names convicts Haresh Mishra, Lambu Sharma, and Kuber Mishra. Ojha further alleged that Haresh Mishra's father and brother had fired at him on April 16, 2025, and an FIR has been filed in that case.
The Indian Opinion
Some may see this as a political vendetta in Bihar's volatile landscape, but the facts demand a closer look. An FIR was registered based on a letter received by the MLA, not on whim. The involvement of a jail superintendent, if proven, points to a systemic failure rather than mere political rivalry. The real test will be a thorough investigation that names or clears all accused without delay. Will the Bihar Police deliver a charge sheet that withstands scrutiny, or will this join the pile of pending cases?
