Days after the son of Janata Dal-United legislative council member Manorama Devi shot dead a teen in Gaya for overtaking his vehicle, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar holds a damage control presser.

Nitish Kumar said nobody can be allowed to take the law in their hands and added that, "strict action would be taken. Nobody can escape the law.

"The guilty will not be spared; the law will take its course and a manhunt is on for the accused."

He said action would be takaken against the bodyguard. "The bodyguard has been suspended and arrested. Departmental action already been taken and a criminal case will also be pursued against him," Nitish said.


At the same time the CM lashed out against the BJP saying criminal incidents have many reasons. "Delhi tops the country's crime list and the law there is under the Centre."


The BJP on Monday called for a shutdown in the town of Gaya over the alleged killing of the 19-year-old teen -- Aditya Sachdeva -- by Rocky Yadav, the son of JD-JU legislative council member Manorama Devi.

The police is yet to arrest Rocky who is still on the run, nearly 36 hours after the incident.

The youth was shot dead in Gaya on Saturday night allegedly because the son of JD-U MLC was irked with the teenager for overtaking his SUV.

Aditya, who was a businessman's son who had recently given his Class 12 exams, was in his Swift car with his friends when he overtook the Range Rover belonging to the family of Manorama Devi.

Rocky was travelling in the SUV with a security guard who has said that the bullet that hit Aditya was fired from the personal revolver of the politician's son.

While Rocky is still on the run, the police have arrested Devi's husband Bindeshwari Prasad Yadav alias Bindi Yadav for helping him escape and also the guard.
