Enhanced Security for Bihar Chief Minister Amid Controversy

Increased Security Measures for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar

The Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, has seen an escalation in his security protocols following a heated political backlash related to a hijab controversy that has sparked nationwide reactions. According to official sources, this decision was made after intelligence agencies provided specific information regarding the situation. The controversy has intensified political tensions, with opposition leaders sharply criticizing the Chief Minister's actions. This issue came to light on Monday when Kumar was distributing appointment letters to newly appointed Ayurvedic doctors at an event in Patna.

Incident Sparks Outrage

During the ceremony, it was reported that Kumar removed the hijab of a Muslim woman who approached him to receive her appointment letter. A video of this incident quickly went viral on social media, leading to widespread outrage. Several opposition leaders, including those from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), condemned the Chief Minister's actions as disgraceful and unacceptable. They accused Nitish Kumar of hurting religious sentiments and demanded accountability for the incident. As political reactions escalated, officials promptly reassessed the security arrangements for the Chief Minister.

Threats and Investigations

In light of the serious developments surrounding the case, Kumar has reportedly received threats from Pakistan. Allegedly, a Pakistani individual named Shahzad Bhatti has issued threats against the Chief Minister. However, officials have not disclosed detailed information regarding the enhancements made to the security measures. Following the threats, the Director General of Police in Bihar has ordered a thorough investigation into videos related to Shahzad Bhatti. Authorities have indicated that further actions will be taken once the investigation is complete.
