RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

BUXAR-------------------------An FIR has been registered at the Town Police Station against youths who allegedly created a ruckus—apparently to garner views on social media—during the rescue operations following an incident where a man drowned near the 'Badi Nahar Pul' (Big Canal Bridge) close to Jyoti Prakash Chowk. The FIR accuses 'Chhotu Baba' and his associates of misbehaving with a female police officer, obstructing official duty, scuffling with the police, and attempting to forcibly stop the District Magistrate's official vehicle. The police have intensified raids to arrest the accused.

According to the police, information was received around 4 PM on September 3rd that a man, aged approximately 40, had jumped into the canal from the bridge near Jyoti Prakash Chowk. Upon receiving the information, the police arrived at the scene, where a large crowd had gathered. Four or five youths in a four-wheeler were also present there; one of them was being addressed by the crowd as 'Chhotu Baba'.

According to the police complaint, the youths allegedly tried to obstruct official work by creating a commotion during the rescue operation. The submerged man was retrieved after the arrival of a government diver. It is alleged that during this time, some of the youths put the man into their vehicle and drove away. The police attempted to pursue them, but they managed to leave the scene. Later, it was learned that the man had been taken to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

The police complaint also mentions a video that was circulated on social media. It has been reported that a video posted from an Instagram account shows two young men and some of their associates arguing with a female police officer and obstructing official duty near Jyoti Prakash Chowk.

The police allege that, during this incident, an attempt was made to stop the District Magistrate's official vehicle and create a disturbance. When the police force tried to remove the youths, a scuffle ensued, and the police eventually had to use force to disperse the crowd.

An FIR has been registered at the Town Police Station based on a complaint filed by Assistant Sub-Inspector Mukesh Kumar Yadav. The FIR names Chhotu Baba and his associates as the accused. The police are now conducting continuous raids to arrest the accused, identifying them through the viral social media video and other available evidence. Kanchan Bala has been entrusted with the investigation of the case.
