Video: Gang members frisk Bihar cops before house raid
What's the story
In Patna, Bihar, two Station House Officers (SHOs) have been suspended after a video surfaced showing police officers being frisked by supporters of the notorious Sonu-Monu gang. The incident took place on Saturday evening in Nauranga Jalalpur village under the Panchmahla police station area. The SHOs, Kundan Kumar and Ranjan Kumar, were suspended on charges of gross negligence and indiscipline in the matter.
Social media fallout
Sequence of events leading to the incident
The incident was triggered by a social media post by Mukesh Singh, husband of the local sarpanch and PACS chairman. He is also a close supporter of JD(U) MLA Anant Singh. Mukesh had recently praised a police raid on social media, which angered Pramod Singh, father of Sonu and Monu. A confrontation between Mukesh and Pramod led to Sonu arriving with five supporters, resulting in an altercation where his associate Saurav allegedly fired two rounds at Mukesh.

अपराधी के सामने @bihar_police ऐसे बेबस दिखेगी तो कानून व्यवस्था का मजाक बनेगा। अपराधियों का मनोबल हाई रहेगा।

मुख्यमंत्री @samrat4bjp जी से निवेदन है, ऐसे अपराधियों के साथ फुल डेंटिंग-पेंटिंग की तस्वीरें सार्वजनिक होनी चाहिए। pic.twitter.com/azW0U3oA6B
Raid resistance
Video of gang members frisking cops goes viral
After an FIR was lodged against Sonu and Monu by Mukesh, police teams from Panchmahla and Hathidah stations arrived at the accused's residence. However, family members resisted entry initially. Videos of this incident went viral on social media showing policemen being frisked by gang supporters before they were allowed inside the house. By then, the brothers had already fled the scene.
Official response
Police action against goons imminent, says Vijay Choudhary
Reacting to the incident, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Choudhary said, "If anyone misbehaves with the police, we have seen the consequences. The police will take action against them; they will be held accountable." Last year in January, MLA Singh had a narrow escape when members of the Sonu-Monu gang attacked him at Nauranga-Jalalpur village in Mokama area in Patna. Police have now intensified searches to nab Sonu and Monu, who are absconding after this incident.
