"School's director was beaten to death with lathis by people and the administration could do nothing...Does this not reflect jungle raj has returned in Bihar?" Paswan told PTI.
Making a scathing attack at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Paswan said if this could happen in the CM's native district one could imagine the law and order situation in other parts of the state.
He said had the administration been alert it could have properly investigated the case of death of two students and prevented people from taking law into their own hands.
The LJP President said that the Nalanda incident proved that "jungle raj" had returned to haunt Bihar.
People seemed to have lost faith in government and that is why such events were taking place, he said.
