Patna: Congress
general secretary Rahul Gandhi Friday visited a village in Bihar's
Araria district and met victims of police firing in which four
people were killed and nine were injured, officials said.
Gandhi visited Bhajanpura village near Forbesganj in Araria, about
350 km from here, where on June 3 the police fired at villagers
protesting against an upcoming factory.
Four people, including a pregnant woman and a six-month-old baby,
were killed while nine others were injured.
"Rahul Gandhi listened to grievances and demand of the victims and
assured them of every possible help to get them justice," a
Congress leader, Prem Chand Mishra, said.
Gandhi arrived at the IAF airbase in Purnia from New Delhi and
soon left for Forbesganj to meet the victims.
According to district officials, Gandhi returned to New Delhi from
Purnia after visiting the victims.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has already ordered a judicial probe
into the incident.
