Bihar chief minister criticised over post showing molestation victim

Bihar Chief Minister Choudhary has faced criticism from the Rashtriya Janata Dal after sharing a photograph of himself with a girl who had been molested and her family members, according to The Hindu. The photograph was posted on X and was quickly taken down. The available report says the RJD criticised the chief minister for allegedly revealing the victim’s identity.

The source material does not explain whether the photograph showed the girl’s face or contained other information that could identify her. It also does not state how long the post remained online or whether it was removed following complaints. No response from Choudhary is included in the material.

It is therefore unclear whether the chief minister’s office gave a reason for publishing or deleting the post, or addressed the RJD’s criticism. The report identifies the incident as involving a girl who was molested in Jamui, Bihar. It provides no further information about the alleged offence, the status of any investigation or the identity of the accused.

The dispute centres on the publication of the image and the question of whether it disclosed the victim’s identity. The supplied information does not establish the outcome of that argument or whether any official action followed.
