Bihar's Firing Fiasco: A Test for Police Accountability The recent firing incident in Siwan, Bihar, has highlighted the delicate balance between law enforcement and public protests.
The state government's defense of Constable Abhishek Kumar, who fired four rounds from an AK 47 during student protests, raises more questions than answers about police accountability.
According to the Bihar government's affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, Kumar was "trapped in the crowd" and fired into the air to deal with the situation.
