Recently, India has been cracking down on gang crimes in several states. However, the situation varies from place to place. In Bihar, the police seem rather ineffective; officers who go to investigate criminal activities are often forced to let gang members search them freely. In West Bengal, where the Modi-led Indian National Congress party won elections, several suspects were paraded in public. These individuals were mostly members of the previous ruling party.
According to the Indian Times, police in Patna, the capital of Bihar state in India, issued a disciplinary decision on May 24. The two police station chiefs, Kundan Kumar and Ranjan Kumar, were given suspension orders due to serious negligence and violations of discipline.
A previous online video showed that local police officers went to a village on the 23rd to carry out their duties, but they were searched by gang members.

This matter has sparked intense discussion. People criticize the situation, saying that police officers are completely helpless when faced with criminals. This is a blatant mockery of the rule of law, and it also encourages criminals to become more arrogant.
According to reports, a member of this criminal group, who has a notorious record, allegedly shot the local villages administrator, Mukesh Singh. Mukesh had previously posted messages on social media, expressing his support for the polices raid operations. He claimed that law and order would be restored, and criminals would eventually be eliminated.
According to the police, on the evening of the 23rd, six gang members confronted Mukesh directly. After a fierce argument between the two sides, Mukesh was shot twice.
After Mukesh reported the incident, the police launched an investigation and rushed to the suspects residence. However, two of the key suspects had already fled the scene.
The police said that during the search, the suspects relatives (including several women) initially prevented the police from entering the house. After a dispute at the door, these women and the gang members actually demanded that the officers undergo a body search before allowing the police to enter.
This scene was captured in video, and it quickly spread across social media platforms. In the footage, police officers formed a line, allowing the gang members to be searched one by one.
Another report states that a woman inside the house handed her phone to one of the police station chiefs. The fleeing suspect also spoke with this officer on the spot.
This incident has sparked strong criticism from all sectors of society, and as a result, the polices image has been severely damaged.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vije Choudhary stated regarding the incident where police officers were humiliated: Those who dare to offend law enforcement officers will surely pay a price. The police will hold those responsible accountable according to the law, and they will not escape punishment.
Recently, similar operations against gangs have also been carried out in other parts of India.
In contrast to the helplessness of Bihar police in dealing with gangs, according to Indian media outlet India Today on the 27th, many people in West Bengal were forced by the police to remove their outer clothing and walk around in tight-fitting clothes in public. Videos and photos of this incident were also widely shared on social media.
Many people were stripped of their outer clothes, and they walked the streets wearing only tight-fitting clothing. *Todays India*
According to reports, most of the suspects who were paraded through the streets belong to the All India Trinamool Congress. This organization is also known as the Grassroots Bharatiya Janata Party. It was established on January 1, 1998, and split from the Indian National Congress.
In early May, the Indian Peoples Party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi achieved an overwhelming victory in the parliamentary elections in West Bengal for the first time. This state, with a population of over 90 million, is a key stronghold for Indias opposition parties. Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal who has been in power for 15 years, accused the Indian Peoples Party of winning an immoral victory. Modi, on the other hand, told his supporters that the Indian Peoples Party had created history and that the fate of West Bengal has taken a new turn.
According to Indian media reports, among the suspects who were paraded through the streets, gang leader Akash Singh was involved in over twenty criminal cases.
Another person who was paraded through the streets was Shamim Ahmed, a member of the All India Grassroots Conference. He is suspected of organizing violent events after recent elections. He was arrested in another state. When police searched his residence, they found a five-story mansion with luxurious interior decorations. There were hidden stairs inside the building, and a casino was also set up on the rooftop. Additionally, he kept 140 goats on the rooftop of the residential building.
Another suspect, Shahan Mora, reportedly abused his power in the area by using connections with the All India Grassroots Conference. While being escorted through the streets, he kept defending himself against the accusations of extortion, denying them.
On the 26th, Bannaji, a member of the All-India Grassroots Assembly, publicly criticized the practice of walking around in public wearing only English translations of his words. He argued that this behavior violated legal norms and human rights standards, and resembled vulgar entertainment.
He emphasized that such scenes can give some people a sickly pleasure. But all of this is an insult to the constitution.
He added, I will never tolerate any criminal acts. But even repeat offenders should not be tied up and forced to walk around the market as public displays of punishment. Such actions may satisfy some peoples curiosity, but they allow public authorities to overstep their limits. This clearly violates the law and fundamental human rights. If those in power become mere entertainers, rather than institutions that act according to the law, then the people of West Bengal will surely suffer greatly in the future.
