After a 17-year-old NEET aspirant died in Patna, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed the Bihar government led by CM Nitish Kumar, stating, "the funeral procession of Bihar's law and order has already taken place." Calling the Bihar government "insensitive", Tejashwi accused it of "perpetrating atrocities on minor girls, female students, daughters, and women across the entire state."
