Jungle Raj 2.0 seems to have manifested itself in Bihar notwithstanding Nitish Kumar's lame duck denials and protestations of innocence.......
In the latest instance of lawlessness and scant respect for the law of the land reported from Patna four youths allegedly detained/confined a distribution executive of a leading national English daily for more than three hours; assaulted him repeatedly and even bludgeoned him with a pistol butt in an effort to show off their misplaced machismo and misogyny.......
According to the victim 42 year old Rakesh Kumar who is recovering from the grievous injuries inflicted by him by his four abductors at a Patna hospital; the heinous incident occurred a little past 2 am or so in the wee hours of Saturday morning when he was on his way back to his Kumrahr home after completing his assigned duties for the day.........
Owing to the twin facts that the road that he was motoring on was completely bereft of street lights and the SUV being driven by the four accused was without rear lights as well as a licence plate; Kumar's trusted motorcycle ended up brushing against the said vehicle and ended up infuriating the four youths who were inside the same beyond belief.......
Two youths; one of whom was menacingly brandishing a country made revolver got down/alighted from the vehicle/SUV and made a beeline towards a profusely apologising Kumar who magnanimously offered to pay for the scratches and negligible damage caused by him to their steed......
Disregarding Kumar's entreaties with utter disdain and criminal contempt; one youth began raining a series of painful blows on various parts of the victim's anatomy; while the second proceeded to brutally attack him with the butt of the desi katta......
They then proceeded to unceremoniously drag a protesting and reluctant Kumar into the dingy confines of the same vehicle and drove away from the accident spot at top speed within the batting of an eyelid even as one of Kumar's colleagues who was following in his wake noticed the sordid fate that had befallen him and proceeded towards the Shastri Nagar police station to register an official complaint.......
Kumar's worst nightmare only got even more sinister and life threatening as his four tormentors kept driving around Patna's streets for the next three hours or so while keeping up the assault on him all the while; sanity deigned on them after all this time and one of the four men alighted from the vehicle at an ATM located on the city's Fraser Road armed with Kumar's ATM card and proceeded to clean out his account that had a little more than Rs. 2500 stashed in the same.......
Sozzled to the gills as they were; the four murderous men mistook the same amount to be Rs. 25,000/- and hence began battering Kumar with renewed ferocity and vigour demanding more money than the amount that they had managed to extricate from his bank account all the while......
Fearing for his sanity; life and limb; the executive even offered to part with the Rs. 800 or so that he was carrying in his wallet but the proffered amount did not satisfy the lust or then insatiable greed of the criminals who continued their demonic assault....... Sheer providence or then should I say negligent driving on the part of the driver ended up saving Kumar's life as the inebriated driver momentarily lost control over the steering and ended up crashing into a lamp post within touching distance of the Patna Railway station........
Somehow managing to keep their collective wits about them; the four fugitives alighted from the considerably damaged vehicle that steadfastly refused to restart after the crash and fled from the accident site leaving a profusely bleeding and much chastened Kumar behind in the mangled vehicle......
Nosey parkers who were drawn to the accident site took due cognisance of Kumar's heart rending physical condition and rushed him to a leading hospital where he is recuperating from the numerous injuries inflicted by the four monsters on his face and head.......
In the meanwhile police sleuths who had arrived at the hospital (read the Senior Superintendent of Police) with two junior officers in tow duly proceeded to record Kumar's statement and exuded confidence about apprehending the still at large four wanted criminals who have reportedly been identified owing to the recovery of their driving licences and other such documents from the SUV in which Kumar was imprisoned for a little over three hours.........
Will Messrs Nitish Kumar and Laoo Prasad Yadav take due cognisance of the rapidly deteriorating law and order situation within their state and iniitiate the much desired and long awaited remedial measures forthwith or then will they continue to persist with their nocturnal tendency of dismissing all reports about the same as the handiwork of vested interests who are out to besmirch the supposedly spotless and blemish free reputation of the government of the day; well your surmise on this one is as good or bad as mine is......
