Acting on directives from the state’s new Home Minister, security forces launched large-scale raids in jails across Bihar, including a high-profile sweep of the Beur Central Jail in Patna. The actions aim to root out contraband, curb inmate privileges and reinforce discipline in correctional facilities. Officials stated that the raids will continue until control is restored completely, including checks on illegal items and strengthening surveillance measures. The crackdown has been welcomed by sections of civil society demanding stricter law enforcement and signalled the administration’s intent to take a hard stance against lawlessness from within prisons.
