Overview

  • At a Patna press conference, Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor alleged Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary avoided prosecution in the 1995 Tarapur killings by claiming juvenile status.
  • Kishor cited a school admit card showing a 1981 birth year against Choudhary’s 2020 affidavit stating he was 51, arguing the records contradict a minor claim in 1995.
  • He said his party will seek the Governor’s intervention and file court petitions, with a letter to the prime minister also signaled, while no arrests or judicial action have been reported.
  • Choudhary and the BJP rejected the charges as baseless, with the deputy CM asserting past acquittal and questioning Kishor’s claims, as other leaders urged replies or investigation.
  • Kishor also escalated graft allegations against JD(U) minister Ashok Choudhary and a linked trust, set a deadline to withdraw a Rs 100 crore defamation notice, and disclosed earning Rs 241 crore over three years with taxes paid and nearly Rs 99 crore donated to Jan Suraaj.
