Prashant Kishore warned
Prashant Kishore said, “If those two people suffer any kind of loss, then Jakkanpur Police Station SHO Rituraj Kumar Singh will definitely lose his job. He should know this very well. Those who were threatening that ‘if they take off their uniform, they will come at your level’, then let them do whatever they want. The entire people of Bihar have seen this, Rituraj Kumar Singh is the SHO here.
PK’s claim- supporters were brought illegally
He further said, “Two people were brought here illegally. They kept them sitting in the station for hours and then sent them somewhere else. They are not giving any information, there is no record of it. The officer claims that he does not even know where they have been taken. He is not taking any responsibility and he does not even know which senior officer had given the order.”
PK said that the SHO says that it is not his job to ask his senior officers. I am just sharing with you the information that I have. They are doing their duty like this, they have no responsibilities. PK said that the people of Bihar are watching and the public will respond to this.
