A peaceful community demonstration in Bara district turned violent when police intervention left a local youth, Aditya Paswan, critically wounded by gunshot fire, triggering widespread outrage and political backlash. The confrontation erupted in Ward 3 of Feta Rural Municipality after residents gathered to protest administrative attempts to forcibly inaugurate an unfinished and potentially unsafe local health post building.
The incident has drawn fierce condemnation from Rastriya Ekta Dal, Bara. In an official press statement released by District President Akhilesh Kushwaha, the party denounced the government's deployment of lethal force against citizens exercising their democratic right to question public infrastructure quality. The organization characterized the use of batons and live ammunition to silence civic concerns as a reckless and oppressive act of state overreach.
The press release outlines several key demands aimed at ensuring accountability and justice. Rastriya Ekta Dal has called on the government to assume full financial responsibility for Aditya Paswan’s medical treatment. Furthermore, the party is pressing for an independent, high-level investigation to identify and prosecute both the personnel involved in the shooting and the officials who authorized opening fire on unarmed demonstrators.
On the infrastructure front, the organization insists on a comprehensive technical audit of the facility. They demand that local authorities verify the structural integrity and complete all pending construction work before permitting the health post to open for public service.
Emphasizing that the primary duty of any government is the protection of its citizens' lives and liberties, President Kushwaha warned that failure to address these grievances will escalate local tension. The party announced it is prepared to launch a broader, coordinated protest movement alongside community members until full accountability is achieved.
