Addressing a joint press conference of ‘Mahagathbandhan’ in Patna on October 28, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav spoke on Munger incident. <br />Yadav said, “We condemn firing by police in Munger, in which 1 person was killed. This double-engine government definitely had a role in it.” <br />“We want to ask Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi, who gave permission to become General Dyer? We want High Court-monitored probe,” he added. <br />One person was killed and several were injured after police allegedly opened fire following ruckus during a procession of Goddess Durga on October 26 in Bihar’s Munger. <br />The police claimed that the person died when someone from the crowd fired. <br />Police resorted to baton charge on a group carrying Goddess Durga for the immersion. <br />The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital. <br />Around 20 policemen also sustained injuries during stone-pelting. <br />The police also recovered three ‘desi kattas’ (country-made pistols) with some live cartridges.
