Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Monday ordered a probe against a bureaucrat for allegedly thrashing and beating a job aspirat in Patna. The Patna Additional District Magistrate was caught on tape assaulting the youth — a candidate of State Teaching Eligibility Test (STET) who was participating in a protest demanding jobs — the video of which has now gone viral on social media.
Acknowledging the incident, Deputy CM Yadav said that an enquiry committee had been formed pertaining to the matter.
“Lathi charge was done to control students taking out a protest march in Patna wherein the ADM was thrashing a STET candidate. An Inquiry committee has been made and strict actions will be taken against him, if found guilty,” Yadav said.
