Bihar Speaker’s aide punished by Maoists in Jan Adalat
Only on Friday the ultras issued warning to Bihar Assembly Speaker, Uday Narayan Chaudhary, asking him not to enter his Assembly constituency, Imamganj. Incidentally it came very close to the Assembly election in Bihar. On the same day Maoists organized a daylight kangaroo court (Jan Adalat) in a bordering village of Chatra district of Jharkhand to try Lakhan Lal Verma, an employee of Bihar assembly working as Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary’s aide. He was abducted by the Maoists from a place under the Dumaria police station of Gaya district on Thursday. Dumaria falls in the Imamganj Assembly segment. Chaudhary himself was in his constituency a couple of days back. Verma was then taken to neighbouring Jharkhand. According to reports one of Verma’s neighbours is learnt to have complained to Maoists against him. Verma was accused of flaunting his proximity to the Speaker to get construction work done on a disputed piece of land. Verma was set free after a sound thrashing on Friday evening. He was compelled to give an undertaking that he would not only withdraw claim over the disputed land in his village home, but would also pay compensation for the agony caused to his neighbour. Media reports also say that Verma got his leg fractured during the Maoist thrashing at the Jan Adalat (kangaroo court). Verma was taken to Patna for medical treatment.
