The news from Mokama, Patna, deeply troubles me, bringing to the forefront a persistent and painful reality of our democratic process. The tragic death of Dular Chand Yadav, a Jan Suraaj Party supporter, during election campaigning is not just an isolated incident; it's a stark reminder of the deep-seated issues that plague our political landscape "Autopsy finds lung rupture, rib fractures behind Jan Suraaj worker’s death - India Today" and "Autopsy finds lung rupture, rib fractures behind Jan Suraaj worker Dular Chand Yadav death".
Initially, there was a belief that Dular Chand Yadav succumbed to a gunshot wound. However, the autopsy findings, as confirmed by Dr. Ajay Kumar and Patna (Rural) SP Vikram Sihag, revealed that his death was caused by a ruptured lung and multiple rib fractures, with cardiac arrest as a contributing factor. The bullet injury on his ankle was deemed non-fatal, underscoring the brutal nature of the incident where he was shot in the leg and then run over by a vehicle. Three FIRs have been registered, and two individuals arrested, with one FIR notably naming Anant Singh, the JD(U) candidate from Mokama and a local strongman, following a complaint from Yadav's grandson. Baadh ADPO Abhishek Singh (dm-gaya.bih@nic.in) stated that police are "probing all angles" in the incident.

The core idea Hemen wants to convey is this — take a moment to notice that he had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. He had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and he had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, he feels a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.
I have previously written about the recurring "BLAME GAME" that follows such incidents, highlighting how administrative failures often go unaddressed "Bihar AES deaths: AIIMS team blames administrative failure, state apathy". The tragic loss of Dular Chand Yadav's life, regardless of the precise cause of death, underlines a chilling indifference to human life in our political contests. This echoes my reflections on how life is treated as cheap, often met with mere
