'was there such a delay in arrest...?' RJD's Mrityunjay Tiwari on Dularchand Yadav murder case

After JDU's Mokama candidate Anant Singh was arrested in the Dularchand Yadav murder case, RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari said on Sunday that the arrest of the Bihar strongman leader was only a "formality" and that the state's law and order situation had collapsed, referring to it as "gundaraaj".

"This arrest is just a mere formality... There is a collapse of the law and order situation in Bihar... This is 'gundaraj'. PM Modi should also speak about this 'gundaraj'... Why was there such a delay in arresting the accused?" he said.

Meanwhile, Patna District Magistrate (DM) Thiyagarajan SM assured that the situation is completely normal.

"The incident that happened has been taken very seriously. We camped day and night for the last 48 hours. The situation is absolutely normal now. Since it is concerned with the election process, we investigated it thoroughly from every angle. Action is being taken against all anti-social elements involved in this. Yesterday, 80 people were arrested, and today, the main accused have been arrested... We have already identified and taken action against the people who are trying to influence elections..." he told ANI.
