Bihar opposition leader accuses CM of exposing minor victim's identity

Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar's opposition leader, has accused Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary of breaching child protection laws by allegedly sharing an image that identified a minor victim of an incident in Jamui district. According to Yadav, the image was posted from the chief minister's official social media handle, thereby exposing the victim's identity in violation of legal safeguards. Yadav has characterized the incident as a grave matter, citing the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which contains strict provisions regarding the confidentiality of minor victims' identities. The opposition leader has called for immediate action against those responsible, arguing that the unauthorized disclosure undermines both child protection laws and the dignity of the victim. The alleged breach has drawn attention to concerns about the handling of sensitive cases involving minors by state officials, with Yadav's remarks putting pressure on the Choudhary administration to respond to the allegations.
