Police Officers Under Fire in Bihar: Case Files Missing After Transfers

In Bihar's Madhepura district, 31 police officers have been booked for failing to hand over case files after being transferred. This mirrors earlier incidents in Gopalganj and Muzaffarpur. FIRs have been lodged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita, disrupting ongoing investigations due to withheld files.

In a significant development in Bihar's law enforcement, 31 police officers in Madhepura district face charges for not transferring case files to their successors after reassignment, officials revealed on Friday.

The officers have been slapped with FIRs under the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita as investigations were stalled due to non-compliance. This follows similar issues in Gopalganj and Muzaffarpur districts, where 53 and 134 officers were, respectively, booked for analogous infractions.

The situation highlights the bureaucratic hurdles and accountability gaps within the police force, raising concerns about the efficiency and integrity of ongoing criminal investigations in the region.
