Bihar is currently dealing with several significant updates ranging from crime to politics and fuel prices. In a tragic event, three children were murdered in Aurangabad district by their own uncle. On the political front, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is preparing to vacate his seat in the Legislative Council. Additionally, the central government has made changes to fuel taxes which has resulted in a slight variation in local prices across the state.
Tragic Triple Murder in Aurangabad Shakes the Region
A disturbing incident took place in Khuthan village under the Haspura police station area of Aurangabad. A man named Amant Pal allegedly killed his brother’s three young children using a sharp cutter machine. Reports suggest he played loud music to ensure no one heard the victims during the attack. The victims are identified as follows:
- Anees: 10 years old
- Ayush: 7 years old
- Anushka: 5 years old
The police found the accused in a critical condition as he attempted to take his own life after the crime. He was first spotted by villagers and has now been moved to a hospital in Patna for better treatment. Initial police reports from the Daudnagar SDPO suggest that a family dispute might be the reason behind this horrific act.
Nitish Kumar to Resign as MLC on March 30
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will submit his resignation from the Bihar Legislative Council on March 30. This decision follows his recent victory in the Rajya Sabha elections held on March 16. According to constitutional rules, a person cannot remain a member of both the State Legislature and the Parliament at the same time. Since he is now a member of the Rajya Sabha, he must leave his MLC seat. This move has sparked various political discussions regarding the future of the Bihar cabinet.
Changes in Petrol and Diesel Prices in Patna
The central government has announced a reduction in the Special Additional Excise Duty on petrol by 10 rupees per litre. This move aims to provide some relief to consumers. In Patna, diesel is now priced at 91.49 per litre, showing a minor decrease from the previous day. Petrol prices remain stable at 105.54 per litre. While major oil companies kept prices steady, private retailer Nayara Energy increased its rates by 5 rupees for petrol in the state.
| Fuel Type | Location | Current Price (Per Litre) |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Patna | 105.54 |
| Diesel | Patna | 91.49 |
| Petrol (Nayara) | Bihar | Increased by 5 Rupees |
