Both the policemen have been sent to jail. This incident is from Jhanjharpur Court of Practice in Madhubani district.

Judge Avinash Kumar has been in the news for his judgment and comments. In September this year, he granted bail to the accused of molestation on the condition of washing and pressing the clothes of all the women of his village. This service is to be provided free of cost to the accused for 6 consecutive months. The judge had entrusted the responsibility of monitoring it to the Panch-Sarpanch of the village. On completion of 6 months, the convict was also ordered to take a certificate of free service and submit it to the court.

It is believed that the police camp is angry with the judge’s remarks on his chief. Recently, during the hearing of a case, Judge Avinash Kumar had talked about sending Madhubani SP Dr Satyaprakash for training due to lack of knowledge of the law. In fact, the court of Judge Kumar had issued a letter to the Central and State Government on 14 July 2021 for not applying the POCSO and Child Marriage Act 2006 in an FIR registered at Bhairav ​​Sthan police station. In this, questions were raised about the role of Madhubani SP, Jhanjharpur DSP and Bhairav ​​Sthan police station, besides an officer of the behavioral court. He was told that he was not aware of the law.
