Bihar Police says that the mastermind of the violence is the coordinator of Bajrang Dal. Questioning this claim, VHP Kameshwar Chaupal says that he had apprehensions that Hindus would be implicated, considering the government had told its agenda by blaming Hindu organizations even before investigation.
While addressing the media, former Justice Narasimha Reddy said, "We are not allowed to visit violence-hit areas. Even in areas where they have not implemented Section 144, we are not allowed to go."
