A serious allegation has emerged from the Baranti police station area in the Vaishali district of Bihar, involving the headman, Arjun Singh. He is accused of engaging in unnatural sexual relations with a minor boy. The incident reportedly occurred on February 9, when the minor was allegedly called by Singh under the pretext of providing information about a government scheme related to farmers. During this meeting, Singh allegedly attempted to pressure the boy, which resulted in a struggle where the headman bit the boy's cheek to silence him.

The minor, after escaping the situation, managed to return home and inform his parents and the local community about the incident. Following this, the boy's father lodged a complaint at the Baranti police station on February 12, leading to the registration of a case against Singh. The police report indicates that this is not the headman’s first encounter with the law, as there are two previous cases registered against him, and he has a history of imprisonment. The ongoing investigation aims to bring clarity to the allegations and determine the headman’s culpability.

This incident highlights the pressing issues of child safety and the challenges faced in rural governance in India, where misuse of power can lead to exploitation. The community's response and the timely reporting of the crime are crucial in ensuring justice for the victim and accountability for the accused.
