Kishor Accuses Bihar Deputy CM of False Age Claim in 1995 Murder Case, Seeks Arrest and Removal

The Jan Suraaj leader escalates a pre-poll push by threatening legal petitions after presenting what he says are contradictory records.

Overview

  • Prashant Kishor alleged Samrat Choudhary evaded trial in the 1995 Tarapur killings by using a school admit card to claim juvenile status.
  • Kishor cited Choudhary’s 2020 election affidavit listing his age as 51, arguing this contradicts the earlier minor claim and warrants prosecution.
  • He demanded the deputy chief minister’s immediate dismissal and arrest, warning he will move court and petition the Governor if authorities do not act.
  • Choudhary rejected the charges as baseless and said he had been acquitted in 1997–98, while no government action or arrest was reported.
  • Kishor also pressed corruption claims against minister Ashok Choudhary, sought withdrawal of a Rs 100 crore defamation notice, threatened further disclosures, and publicly declared earning Rs 241 crore with taxes paid and major donations to his party.
