RAMPAGE AT CSP CENTRE

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

BHABHUA-----------------------Amidst government claims regarding the prohibition of liquor and illegal arms in Bihar, an incident raising serious questions about law and order has emerged from the Mohania police station area in Kaimur district. On Thursday, a group of 6–7 miscreants arrived at a CSP (Customer Service Point) center in Ward No. 4, Dadwa (Mohania), and openly wreaked havoc at gunpoint; they engaged in vandalism and destroyed property worth lakhs of rupees. Shockingly, despite the passage of several hours since the incident, no arrests have been made so far. According to the complaint filed at the Mohania police station by the victim, Brajendra Kumar (son of Jaiprakash Singh, a resident of Ward No. 4, Dadwa), he was present at his CSP center around 4:30 PM on Thursday, June 11, 2026, when 6–7 armed youths barged into the shop and began vandalizing the premises while threatening to kill him. According to the complaint, one of the accused identified himself as Sanjeev Kumar—claiming to be the son of Daya Singh—and threatened, "No one is to disclose details of this incident to anyone, nor is the CCTV footage to be released; otherwise, we will kill you."

The victim alleges that the perpetrators were intoxicated and armed with country-made pistols (*katta*). They attempted to open fire, but the weapon failed to discharge. As bystanders began to gather, the accused fled towards Ramgarh Road. Equipment at the CSP center—including computers and machinery—was completely destroyed in the incident, resulting in a loss of approximately ₹2 to ₹2.5 lakh for the victim. The entire incident was reportedly captured on CCTV, and the police have been informed. A major question now arises: despite the prohibition on alcohol in Bihar, criminals are roaming openly while intoxicated and armed. Amidst claims of strict enforcement, these criminals are brandishing illegal firearms and challenging the police.

Most concerning is the fact that, even hours after the incident, the Mohania police have failed to arrest any of the accused, fueling fear among locals and growing resentment toward the administration. The question remains: how have these criminals become so emboldened? Has the fear of the law vanished in Mohania? And why has there been no police action so far?
