Bike-borne gunmen shoot BJP member to death in Patna
Patna, Sep 9: Bike-borne assailants gunned down a BJP member outside a restaurant in the Bihar capital Patna in the early hours of Monday, police said.
The deceased was identified as Munna Sharma who was associated with the BJP for years.
“Munna Sharma was shot at by three unidentified bike-borne armed assailants outside a restaurant when he was waiting for an autorickshaw. The armed men fled the spot after the shooting," Patna Rural Superintendent of Police Raushan Kumar told reporters.
He succumbed to his injuries in a government hospital.
"Police registered a case and launched a manhunt to nab the gunmen. Forensic experts collected evidence from the spot. Officials are analysing CCTV footage of the area to identify the accused," he said.
Leader of the opposition in the assembly Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD claimed that the incident showed crime was flourishing under the NDA government in the state.
"The state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has miserably failed to check the deteriorating law and order situation in the state," the RJD leader posted on X.
Union minister Chirag Paswan said it is a matter of serious concern.
"Law must be enforced strictly so that people cannot even think of committing crimes. I am sure that police will soon nab the accused,” said Paswan, also the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief.
बिहार में सत्ता संरक्षण में अपराध फल-फूल रहा है। अपराधी जब चाहे, जहां चाहे किसी को भी गोली मारकर भाग जा रहे है। वीडियो में बीजेपी नेता को गोली मारकर भागते अपराधी।

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
