Patna: With Bihar assembly election just a few months away, the law and order situation in the state seems to be spiraling out of control as charred bodies of two minor siblings were found in a room at Nagwa village under Janipur police station limits in the state capital on Thursday as the family alleged that someone first killed children and then set their bodies on fire.

Phulwari Sharif DSP 2, Deepak Kumar said that police were investigating the matter from all angles.

Meanwhile, people agitated over the incident blocked roads and burnt tyres to vent out their ire. The deceased had been identified as Anjali Kumari (15) and Anshul Kumar (10). A team of FSL reached the spot and launched a thorough investigation into the incident. Children`s father Lallan Gupta works in the local Election Commission office while mother works in AIIMS, Patna.

While talking to reporters, he asserted that criminals might have been following their children after classes in their school were over, asking how such a heinous crime could happen in just one and half hours. He claimed that two to three men were seen near the house. He also alleged that perpetrators first killed them and later set them on fire.

If it was an accident, the boys would have run for their lives and could have even opened the door, but there was no such effort from their side, which proves that someone first killed them and then burnt their bodies, he added.

The mother of deceased children informed her husband about the tragedy after she returned from her duty.

Relatives of the victims cried inconsolably with hundreds of villagers gathered at the spot as police searched throughout the entire area to collect evidence

"I want to burn them (culprits) alive. Police should catch them today itself," Gupta commented as a pall of gloom descended on the village with people clueless what was happening in the state at regular intervals.

"Had it been someone from the chief minister's or some higher official's family, police would have been prompt in the investigation and quick to arrest culprits," Gupta said.

Further investigation is underway and the cause of their death will only be ascertained after some time, he said

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged that criminals patronised by the present dispensation were behind the incident.

He commented on ‘X’, “Criminals are so emboldened that now no one is safe either at home, office, or hospital. CM unconscious, criminals alert!"
