The Opposition is expected to corner the NDA government over Bharat Bhushan Tiwari's police encounter. The incident has sparked controversy after a Facebook Live video, recorded shortly before the shooting, appeared to show Tiwari throwing away his pistol toward police personnel.
Following complaints by Tiwari's family, Bihar Police registered an FIR against the Jagdishpur DSP, Shahpur SHO and other police personnel in connection with the encounter. The investigation into the case is underway. (ANI)
