**Nalanda, Bihar –** A gruesome discovery has sparked outrage and political sparring in Bihar. The body of a woman, found with ten nails hammered into her feet, was discovered in Bahadurpur village, Nalanda district, on Thursday. The body was discovered by villagers Wednesday evening and reported to Chandi Police Station.
Police have sent the body to Biharsharif Sadar Hospital for autopsy and suspect the woman may have been raped before being murdered. An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.
The incident has ignited fierce criticism from the opposition. Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of the Opposition, directly blamed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing him of failing to protect women, particularly in his home district. Yadav took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the crime and highlight Bihar’s ranking among states with high crime rates against women.
The Nitish Kumar government responded by invoking the past, citing the “jungle raj” era under Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi’s rule, and emphasizing the state’s development since 2005. The political exchange underscores the ongoing debate surrounding law and order in Bihar.
