"Action will be taken against perpetrators": Bihar Minister Ashok Choudhary after private hospital director shot dead in Patna

Patna (Bihar) [India], March 23 (ANI): After the Director of a private hospital in Patna was shot dead a day ago, Bihar Minister Ashok Choudhary assured that the police are investigating the matter and action will be taken against the perpetrators.
Speaking to ANI, Choudhary attributed the rising incidents of crime to internal disputes, property disputes, and family issues, emphasizing that there is "no organized crime protected by politicians..."
The minister's statement comes amidst concerns over the law and order situation in Bihar. Choudhary, however, maintained that the government is committed to taking action against criminals and ensuring speedy trials in such cases.
"The police is investigating the matter. Action will be taken and the perpetrators will be caught soon. Incidents happen, we are not denying it. These incidents are happening in internal disputes, property disputes and family issues. There is no organised crime protected politically... Action will be taken and the Chief Minister has also said that there will be a speedy trial in such cases...," Choudhary said.
"The context (of the crime) should be seen. People are killing their wives and children. What can we say to such people. Somewhere, a husband came from England and he was chopped and sealed. It is the mentality of the people. Incidents are happening but they are internal disputes. There is no organised crime. No criminals are operating Bihar which we have failed to control..." the Bihar minister said.
Meanwhile, the father of the deceased demanded a high-level inquiry into the case, alleging a conspiracy in her death.
Speaking to ANI, Rajesh Sinha, father of the slain Asia Hospital director, said, "I saw her only in the ICU. I do not know what has happened. I don't know if she has been shot. I came to know only later that she was shot. She had no dispute with anyone...I demand that the matter be investigated. There should be a high-level inquiry. There should be a CBI inquiry. There seems to be a conspiracy..."
