The BJP’s women’s wing lodged a complaint at the Secretariat police station in Bihar, seeking an FIR against RJD MP Misa Bharti for publishing a photograph of a minor student from Jamui and her family.
A photograph showing a minor student from Jamui district and members of her family was circulated publicly, sparking a political controversy in Bihar. The image, which featured a child, was reportedly shared by RJD Member of Parliament Misa Bharti, prompting criticism from opposition leaders.
In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Mahila Morcha filed a formal complaint at the Secretariat police station, demanding that an FIR be registered against the MP. The party’s statement said the publication of a minor’s picture without consent violated legal and ethical norms and warranted police action.
The incident has added to the existing political tension in the state, with the BJP accusing the RJD of misusing a child’s image for political gain, while the RJD has not issued a detailed comment. Local authorities have yet to confirm whether an FIR will be lodged.
The matter remains under observation as both parties await a response from the police, and civil society groups have called for stricter enforcement of privacy protections for minors.
