PATNA, OCT 15: Bihar Governor V.C. Pande has sought a report from the Rabri Devi government on Friday's killing of 12 members of a Yadav family in Siwan district.

A Raj Bhavan spokesman told PTI that Pande, who is currently in New Delhi, expressed deep concern over the recurrence of violence and sought a detailed report from the state government on the killing and the action taken later.

The spokesman said the Governor had also asked the state administration to take immediate steps to arrest the culprits.

Meanwhile, Opposition leader in the Bihar Assembly S.K. Modi, who headed a fact-finding team to an on-the-spot study of the situation in Siwan, told reporters there that the state government had failed to check carnages.

He charged that an RJD MP had masterminded the killing but that his name had been dropped from the FIR under pressure from the ruling party in Bihar. Modi also demanded immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the heinous crime.
