Nalanda Outrage: Pappu Yadav Calls For Strict Action After Meeting Family

(MENAFN- IANS) Patna, April 3 (IANS) Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan a.k.a. Pappu Yadav visited Nalanda on Friday to meet the family of a woman who was allegedly molested and assaulted in a shocking incident that has triggered widespread outrage.

After arriving in Patna, Pappu Yadav travelled to Dhibarapar village under the Noorsarai police station area, where the incident took place.

A tense atmosphere has prevailed in the region since the incident, which involved a group of miscreants allegedly molesting the woman and attempting to sexually assault her on March 26 this year.

Describing the incident as deeply shameful and disturbing, the MP said it reflects the disturbing level of brutality in society and has tarnished the image of both Nalanda and Bihar.

“I met the victim’s family to express solidarity and extended financial assistance of Rs 50,000. I have also urged them to stay strong and continue their livelihood in the village,” he said.

According to reports, the victim’s husband had been working in Maharashtra, while she was residing with her in-laws in the village.

Pappu Yadav further called for strict and swift action against the accused.“I will urge the government and administration to ensure a speedy trial and exemplary punishment. The fact that criminals are now recording such heinous acts and circulating them without fear raises serious concerns about law and order,” he said.

He also raised broader social concerns, stating that in such cases, society often questions the victim rather than holding the perpetrators accountable.

“Who gives these criminals such audacity? There must be a collective effort – from both society and the administration – to eliminate this mindset and ensure justice,” he added.

The incident has once again brought into focus issues of women’s safety, accountability, and societal attitudes, with demands growing for strict enforcement and justice for the victim.

After visiting Nalanda, Pappu Yadav proceeded to Nawada district to express condolences to the bereaved family of JD(U) MLA Vibha Devi.

Pappu Yadav visited Pathra Inglish village, where he met former State Minister Rajballabh Yadav and his wife, Vibha Devi, and conveyed his sympathies over the untimely demise of their son, Akhilesh Kumar Yadav.

He also interacted with family members and assured them of all possible support during this period of grief.

Akhilesh Kumar tragically passed away in a road accident on March 19, leaving the family in deep mourning.

According to reports, the accident occurred near his residence in Pathra Inglish village, under the jurisdiction of the Mufassil Police Station in Nawada.

He was driving his Thar SUV late in the evening when, while negotiating a sharp turn just a short distance from home, the vehicle went out of control and crashed into a roadside palm tree. Locals rushed to the spot, rescued him from the severely damaged vehicle, and took him to a nearby hospital.

However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

The tragic incident has left the family and local community in shock.

Several political leaders have been visiting the residence to offer condolences.

Recently, Mokama MLA Anant Singh and Bihar Agriculture Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also met the bereaved family.

Pappu Yadav’s visit is part of a series of condolence calls by political leaders expressing solidarity with the family during this difficult time.
