Authorities in Bihar have initiated legal action in connection with the unauthorized sharing of sensitive photographs on social media involving a Jamui victim's family members. The First Information Report was filed against Sagar Prasad, a stenographer with the Chief Minister's Office, at the Secretariat police station in Patna.
The photographs in question were allegedly posted from the official social media handle of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary without the family's consent. The incident drew significant political attention, with opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav publicly criticizing the Chief Minister over the matter.
The FIR represents an official response to concerns regarding the privacy violation and unauthorized disclosure of images related to an ongoing case. The sharing of victim and family photographs without consent raises questions about data protection and the responsible use of official social media platforms by government offices.
The investigation into the matter is expected to examine how the photographs were accessed, who authorized their posting, and whether standard protocols for handling sensitive case-related materials were followed by the Chief Minister's office.
