Patna, Mar 2: A major controversy erupted in Bihar after the police thrashed and arrested martyr's father over a land dispute in Jandaha in Bihar's Vaishali.
The jawan , who died during the Galwan clash in 2020, was identified as Jai Kishore Singh. CCTV footage of Tejaswi Kishore Singh, father of Jai is now going viral. It shows the martyr's father being dragged, thrashed and then arrested over a land dispute.
A strong police team from Jandaha reached Chakfatah on the night of February 25-26 and picked up martyr Jai Kishore Singh's father Raj Kapoor Singh, thrashed him and took him to the police station on the charges of encroaching the village road. The martyr's father was sent to jail the next day on Sunday.

The case pertains to the martyr's father building a memorial for his son in Vaishali district, which was opposed by complainant Harinam Singh. However, the police claimed that the matter is linked to an issue of illegal encroachment, which was in violation of the rights of the landowner.

"On January 23, a case was registered under SC/ST Act over a statue being erected on the land of Hari Nath Ram & on govt land in Jandaha. Later, walls bordering the statue were built. They have not sought any permission. If they wanted, they could have made it in their own land or sought land from the government. There would not have been an issue then. The landowner's rights being violated due to illegal encroachment," the SDPO Mahua said.
However, the brother of the martyr, Jai Kishore Singh, who himself is in the armed forces, accused the police of thrashing his father and abusing him.
"DSP ma'am visited us, asking us to remove the statue within 15 days. I said I will show her the document. Later, the police station in-charge came to our home and beat up my father before arresting him. They also abused my father. I am also in the armed forces personnel," Nand Kishore, brother of Jai Kishore Singh, said.
Soon after this incident, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday spoke with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the alleged thrashing of the father of a Galwan martyr and condemned the incident.
