A minor road mishap in Bihar’s Vaishali district spiraled into a full-blown scandal, thanks to a BDO’s explosive rage. The Mahnar block officer’s government car brushed against another vehicle, prompting him to emerge and pummel the driver with repeated slaps. The graphic video, now viral, has put the administration under the scanner.
In the footage, the assaulted youth is seen groveling at the BDO’s feet, voice breaking as he pleads, ‘Sorry sir, it won’t happen again.’ Despite the abject submission, the officer presses on, ignoring the young man’s cries. The scene, captured by witnesses, paints a picture of unchecked authority run amok.
Social media erupted with hashtags calling out the BDO’s thuggery. Residents question why officials resort to fists over dialogue, especially in trivial disputes. ‘We elect them to serve, not to slap,’ one viral post reads. Activists are mobilizing for an FIR and departmental inquiry.
While authenticity awaits official confirmation, the damage is done. This episode underscores deeper issues of officer misconduct in Bihar. As demands for accountability grow louder, the district must act decisively to restore faith in public service.
