60% of crimes are committed from jail, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said on Saturday, sending a strong message to criminals. 60% of crimes are committed from jail, he repeated while speaking to reporters in Patna.
He made the remarks after the Abhinandan Digha Karyakarta Samman ceremony. Chaudhary said the state government is serious about controlling crime. He warned that no mafia, no matter how powerful, will be spared.
The Deputy Chief Minister said criminals must fear the law. He added that ordinary people will soon see clear results on the ground.
In a strong move, Chaudhary announced that the homes of those accused in the fodder scam will be confiscated. The government plans to convert these houses into schools for poor children.
He said this model has already been used in Bihar. Earlier, the house of a former Director General of Police was seized and turned into a school. Now, the same step will be taken against fodder scam accused.
Chaudhary also spoke about development. He said the government will focus on jobs, good governance, and law and order for the next five years.
