Bihar, Oct.30,2025:Siwan ASI murder has stunned the state. In the early hours of Wednesday night in the remote fields between Sirsāon Naya Tola and Sadpur villages, in the jurisdiction of Daraunda police station, the body of ASI Aniruddh Kumar (46) was discovered. The man, posted at Daraunda PS for about 1½ years, was found with his throat slit by a sharp weapon-
According to police initial probe, the body was dumped in an arhar-field roughly one and a half kilometres from his station. The naked brutality — throat cut, limbs possibly bound — suggests pre-meditation rather than a random act.
Given the timing – just weeks ahead of the busy electoral phase in Bihar – the incident raises serious questions about the state of security in the region.
who was the ASI
Aniruddh Kumar, originally from Kunwar village under the Rajpar PS in Madhubani district, was the son of Anant Paswan. His age was reported as 46. He had been posted at Daraunda police station in Siwan district for the past about 18 months.
Colleagues describe him as an active ASI, part of the local force during pre-election preparations — a time when policing in the zone is under extra strain. Locals say he was in plain clothes at the time of attack.
His selection for a field posting in Daraunda shows the trust the department placed in him; his murder, therefore, shakes that trust. Police superintendent Manoj Kumar Tiwari and SDPO Aman visited the spot soon after.
Crime scene & investigation
Location & discovery
The body was found in a nearly deserted arhar-field located between Sirsāon Naya Tola and Sadpur villages, in Daraunda PS area of Siwan district. The site is reportedly about 1.5 km from the police station, which underscores how brazen the act was.
Nature of the crime
Reports indicate the victim’s throat was slit with a sharp weapon, suggesting both terror and intention. Some sources claim hand-feet were bound, heightening the cruelty of the act.
Police response
Following the discovery, local police teams from Daraunda and neighbouring Maharajganj stations were rapidly deployed. Superintendent Tiwari instructed teams to conduct raids — one early lead was an orchestral group operator whose premises were raided and 3-4 persons detained for questioning.
Security has been stepped up in and around the spot; the department has also begun checking CCTV footage and local intelligence as part of the probe.
Motive theories and suspects
Initial police stance
The police believe the murder may have been triggered by a personal dispute rather than a terror-type act. “आपसी विवाद” (inter-personal conflict) has been cited by officials.
Local informant leads
Local residents and media speculations suggest that ASI Aniruddh Kumar may have had a relationship with a woman dancer in an orchestra troupe — the troupe-operator’s arrest lends credence to this line of enquiry.
Election context and law-order concerns
Given that the murder has occurred just before a major electoral phase, some observers are drawing links between crime-rise and political instability in the area.
Key questions still pending
- Who exactly attacked Kumar and what was the planning behind it
- Was this purely personal or did it involve larger networks?
- How were perpetrators able to carry out such an act so close to a police station
- Will the election season divert police focus and delay resolution
Political and security implications
A shot across the bow of law-&-order
The Siwan ASI murder throws into sharp relief the challenge of maintaining public security even for law-enforcement officers themselves. If those on duty are not safe, how can citizens be? This incident fuels distrust in the policing mechanism.
Impact on pre-election environment
With Bihar Legislative Assembly election 2025 days away, the murder has a ripple effect. The opposition and citizens may use this as evidence of deteriorating law-and-order, whereas the ruling dispensation may face pressure to display quick action. The timing raises the stakes for both policing and political leadership.
Local morale & police force credibility
Within the police department, the morale takes a hit when a colleague is targeted. It raises questions on whether officers are sufficiently protected and whether small towns like Daraunda are becoming law-enforcement deserts. Public perception may turn: if ASIs aren’t safe, who is?
Message to crime-elements
Such a ruthless execution sends a message to criminal networks that they can act with impunity—even during election season. The police crackdown and whether arrests are made quickly will send the next message.
Police actions & public demands
Investigative trajectory
- Police teams will continue raids, especially targeting the orchestra operator’s premises and associates.
- Forensic examination of the body, weapon traces, and crime-scene evidence will be crucial.
- Analysis of CCTV, mobile-phone data of the ASI, and local intelligence will be core to solving the case.
- Arrests and charges will be closely watched by the public and media, because the optics are politically sensitive.
Civic reaction
Local residents have expressed anger and fear: “जब पुलिसकर्मी सुरक्षित नहीं हैं, तो आम जनता कैसी सुरक्षा पायेगी?” one resident asked. The demand for swift and strict justice is high; failure to act timely may erode confidence further.
Administrative response
The District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police have flagged this as a high-priority case. Additional police deployment and patrolling around elections may be mandated. The state government will likely monitor closely given the electoral ramifications.
bigger picture for Bihar
The Siwan ASI murder is not simply another crime statistic. It symbolizes a breakdown in security safeguards at a basic level. When someone tasked with upholding the law becomes a victim in such a brutal manner, it speaks to larger structural issues: policing capacity, rural intelligence, community cooperation, and political-administrative accountability.
For Bihar, this is a moment of reckoning. The focus keyword Siwan ASI murder captures more than the incident—it conveys the fears, failures and future imperatives of law-and-order in the region. Will this tragedy prompt genuine reform or will it become another footnote?
