Bihar CM Claims Most Criminals Have Fled to Nepal
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary stated on June 28, 2026, that the majority of criminals from the state have already escaped to neighboring Nepal. He asserted that the remaining lawbreakers will also be compelled to leave Bihar soon. The statement comes amid a crackdown on criminal activities in the region.
Details of the Statement
Speaking at a press conference in Patna, Choudhary said, "Most criminals have already fled to Nepal. The rest will have to leave too." He emphasized that the state government is committed to making Bihar crime-free. The CM did not provide specific numbers but indicated that law enforcement agencies are working closely with central agencies to track down fugitives.
Impact on Law Enforcement
Following the CM's remarks, Bihar Police have intensified surveillance along the Nepal border. Senior police officials confirmed that coordination with Nepalese authorities has been strengthened to facilitate the extradition of wanted criminals. According to sources, at least 50 individuals with criminal records have been identified as having crossed into Nepal in the past month alone.
