Woman Magistrate Attacked During Encroachment Drive in Bihar's Ara

A shocking incident took place in Ara, Bihar, where woman magistrate Pallavi Gupta was brutally attacked while leading an anti-encroachment drive. The attack, carried out by local goons, involved physical assault, hair-pulling, tearing of clothes, and even throwing her onto the road. The miscreants also attacked the security personnel accompanying her, creating a chaotic scene.

Despite Attack, Magistrate Completed the Encroachment Drive

The incident occurred near the Kayam Nagar Zero Mile main road, close to Sardar Patel Bus Stand. Encroachers had illegally occupied the area, prompting the administration to take action. However, as soon as the bulldozer operation began, the goons launched a violent attack on the magistrate and her team.

Despite the brutality, Pallavi Gupta stood firm and ensured the encroachment was removed before leaving the site.

Ongoing Tension Over the Disputed Property

Reports suggest that the disputed site included a two-storey house, which had been a source of conflict for several days. A similar ruckus had taken place on Saturday, and tensions were already high.

Legal Action to Follow

The magistrate has stated that she will submit a detailed report to the District Magistrate and ensure that a case is registered against the attackers. Authorities have assured that strict legal action will be taken against those responsible.

This disturbing attack on a government official highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties, particularly during anti-encroachment drives. The incident has sparked outrage, with demands for strong action against the perpetrators.
