Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary Accused of Using Fake Minor Certificate in 1995 Murder Case

June 20, 2026

Samrat Chaudhary, tell me. I am saying this on camera in this country. No one of criminal character like this is in such a high position in this entire country. This person, directly, directly seven people's murder, seven people's murder is accused. It's not an accusation, this person is accused. The court did not acquit him. Did not give any relief. He remained in jail. In 1995, seven people's murder, and murder of whom? Here in Bihar, they do politics. All the people who are going to die are from the Kushwaha community, the community they do politics with. In the case of murder of seven people, this person remained in jail. And how did he get out of jail? He submitted his certificate, saying I am 15 years old, a minor. And got out. And he did not disclose this in his election affidavit. Did not disclose. Where is the Election Commission? Where is the system of this country? Where is BJP? These people are talking about character. Did not even challenge. How will he challenge? He won uncontested. You tell me, you ask Samrat Chaudhary. Seven people's murder case, you were in jail, or not? The court has rejected your bail twice. After that, you got relief from the juvenile court by submitting a certificate of being 15 years old, or not? And if all this is true, then you hid this in your three election affidavits. These are corrupt people. These are corrupt people.

What's right

Samrat Choudhary was accused in a 1995 murder case (Launa-Parsa massacre) involving seven deaths [2][3][9][10].
His bail petitions were rejected twice [2][3][9].
He was released from jail after submitting documents claiming he was a minor, born on May 1, 1981, which would have made him 15 years old at the time [2][3][4].
There is a contradiction between his claimed age in 1995 (as a minor) and his declared age in election affidavits, where he stated his year of birth as 1969, making him 26 in 1995 [2][3][9].
The victims of the Tarapur murder case in 1995 belonged to the Kushwaha caste [2].

What's wrong

Samrat Choudhary claims the court did not accept the affidavit stating he was a minor and that his lawyer filed it.
He also states the case was settled by the court in 1997-98 [4][9].
While the claim is that he did not disclose his criminal past, the sources indicate he was acquitted in the 'pre-chargesheet stage' [4].
The exact details of what was disclosed in all his election affidavits are not fully detailed in the provided context, but the contradiction in age is highlighted [2][3][9].

What's debatable

The claim that Chaudhary used a 'fake' minor certificate is debated, as he claims his lawyer filed the affidavit and the court did not accept it, and that the case was settled [4][9].
The implication that he won uncontested is not directly supported by the provided sources, though one source mentions he was not challenged in a specific context [4].

Breakdown

Allegations of Murder and Minor Status Multiple sources confirm that Samrat Choudhary (also referred to as Rakesh Kumar) was accused in a 1995 murder case involving seven deaths in Tarapur [2][3][9][10]. His bail petitions were rejected twice [2][3][9].

He was released from jail after submitting documents that indicated he was a minor, with one source stating he produced a matriculation certificate showing his age as 15 [2][3][4]. The victims in the Tarapur murder case were from the Kushwaha community [2].

Contradiction in Age and Disclosure A significant point of contention is the discrepancy in Choudhary's declared age. While he claimed to be a minor (15 years old) to get out of jail in 1995, his election affidavits later stated his year of birth as 1969, making him 26 in 1995 [2][3][9].

This contradiction is central to the allegations of misrepresentation. The claim that he did not disclose his criminal past is complicated by the fact that he was reportedly acquitted in the 'pre-chargesheet stage' [4].

Debate Over 'Fake' Certificate and Uncontested Win Choudhary himself has responded to these allegations, stating that his lawyer filed the affidavit claiming he was a minor and that the court did not accept it. He also asserts that the case was settled by the court [4][9].

The assertion that he won uncontested is not directly substantiated by the provided sources, although one source mentions he was not challenged in a particular context [4].
