The mother of Nandan Yadav, an accused in a case involving alleged harassment of minor boys and girls in Jamui district, Bihar, has accused local police of one-sided action and caste-based bias in their investigation.
She alleged that authorities are pursuing cases against suspects from only one caste community while shielding others accused of similar offences. The woman questioned why only her son faced police action, suggesting a pattern of discriminatory enforcement.
The allegations point to broader concerns about impartial investigation practices in the district. Police had registered a case against Yadav following complaints about his conduct toward minors, though details of the allegations remain limited.
The mother's public accusations add to mounting scrutiny of how law enforcement agencies handle sensitive cases involving minors. Her claims of selective prosecution based on caste could draw attention from civil rights groups and state authorities examining police conduct in the matter.
Officials have not yet responded to the allegations of bias or provided clarity on the investigation's status.
