Patna: The Election Commission has swung into action after the murder of Jan Suraj Party supporter Dularchand Yadav in Mokama. The commission has ordered strict enforcement of law and order, directing officials to ensure that all licensed firearms are deposited and illegal weapons are seized immediately. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar held a video conference on Friday to review the situation in Bihar, joined by Election Commissioners S.S. Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The CEC made it clear that peaceful and fair elections are the top priority and that any negligence will invite strict action.

Tight Surveillance in Sensitive Areas

The Commission has instructed officials to intensify border checks, keep a close watch on miscreants and rumor-mongers, and take swift punitive action. Extra security forces will be deployed at sensitive and high-profile polling booths. The meeting also reviewed the security of strong rooms and EVMs.

New FIR Filed in Mokama Violence

Meanwhile, tension continues in Mokama after the killing of Dularchand Yadav. A fresh FIR has been registered at Pandarak police station on the complaint of RJD candidate Veena Devi’s supporters. Violence broke out during Dularchand’s funeral procession on Friday, and Veena Devi’s convoy was attacked. Three people—Sumit, Sonu, and Golu—have been named as accused in the case.

Four FIRs Filed So Far

So far, four FIRs have been lodged in connection with the Mokama violence—three at Bhadaur police station and one at Pandarak. Dularchand’s grandson Neeraj Kumar has accused Anant Singh, his nephews Rajveer and Karmveer, along with Chhotan Singh and Kanjay Singh, of involvement in the killing. On the other side, Anant Singh’s supporter Jitendra Kumar has lodged a counter-complaint naming Jan Suraj candidate Priyadarshi Piyush and his associates as conspirators.

Election Commission’s Stern Message

The Election Commission has warned the state administration that there will be zero tolerance toward lawlessness. “There will be no compromise on law and order—guns will not decide the election, votes will,” the Commission said in a statement.
The spotlight is now on whether the Bihar administration can maintain peace in volatile regions like Mokama as polling day nears.
