Upon reaching Patna on Thursday, Opposition leader in the Bihar Assembly and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Tejashwi Yadav expressed “shock” over the incident of an inmate of an aftercare home in Gaighat locality of the city alleging sexual abuse after being sedated and tortured physically.

The Patna High Court on February 2 took suo motu cognizance of a viral video in which the inmate, who somehow managed to come out of the aftercare care home earlier, was seen accusing a top official of the home of sexual abuse and other physical torture. The court fixed the next date of hearing on February 7.
