If india gives him same punishment then assume that india is developed, in india criminals are given more respect than the victims.
Insane person. why dont you give him similar punishment....
Leave Bihar Campaign :)
Is controlling criminals important or fighting against Modi important? Nitish and KC Tyagi, please tell us
Shameless act from a political goonda. BTW had it been a BJP politician's son, CD would have had BJP in the headline. No I am not condoning the act if it was a BJP politician's son involved, I am just talking about how biased this channel is.
if the leader in the SUV was a BJP leader, your headline would have screamed the word BJP. Bajrangi RSS etc!
That politician's son is going to be get caught and will soon be released without facing any punishment.
that's how it happens in India!!!
in case of BJP politician, headline would have been ' BJP politician shoots 19 year old boy'. Since crime is committed by a non BJP politician, it only says politician in hearing.
This how the journalists manipulate the news.
Biharis Deserves... who voted corrupt Goonda Rajya
CM Nithish Kumar is in Kerala, he want the Kerala to be made same like Bihar.
Nitish Kumar is busy trying to cobble up a coalition in his desperate attempt to become the PM of this country. Meanwhile, the state is ruled by Lalu and his sons. So the jungle raj continues in Bihar.
its time to make bihar, up, wb ,delhi and kerala as independent nations. kick all these aholes from rest of india, let them solve their civility issue themselves.

THERE IS TOTAL JUNGLE RAJ PREVAILING IN BIHAR SINCE LAST 25 YEARS DURING RJD- JD(U) MISRULE. NITISH KUMAR IS RUNNING GOVT WITH HELP OF CORRUPT MEDIAS WHO ARE GETTING HUGE MONEY I.E. HUNDREDS OF CRORES PER ANNUM FROM JD(U) GOVT FOR FLASHING ROSY PICTURE OF CORRUPT AND WORST NITISH GOVT. LALOO HAS RETURNED REIGN OF TERROR IN STATE WHERE HIS COMMUNITY IS INDULGED IN MASS ANTI-NATIONAL ACTIVITIES LIKE NAXALISM, MURDERS, DACOITIES, KIDNAPPING ETC. THIS IS BEYOND CAPACITY OF CM TO CONTROL IT. SO PEOPLE OF BIHAR IS BOUND TO SUFFER FOR ELECTING CORRUPT AND WORST PERFORMING GOVT WHEN THERE WILL BE NO PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
