Patna: The ghost of Amir Das Commission has begun to haunt the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar.
CNN-IBN had earlier reported why the commission was disbanded just when it was about to table its report.
Ranvir Sena, the outlawed private army used to fight caste wars in Bihar, has big shot politicians as friends, a commission has found.
The Bihar government disbanded the Justice Amir Das Commission on April 8 on the excuse that it hadn't submitted a report nine years after its formation.
But, documents available with CNN-IBN showed involvement of top leaders of the NDA alliance with the outlawed Ranvir Sena, hence offering a possible explanation for the government’s move.
Since the day the report was aired, Nitish government has been spending sleepless nights as people of Bihar are up in arms demanding the commission be re-constituted.
Agitating protestors are out on roads voicing their discontent against the controversial move and are vouching for the re-constitution of the Commision.

“We want Sushil Modi to resign and the Amir Das commission report to be made public. Nitish Kumar has fooled people and he must apologise,” and activist, Saroj Chaube , says.
Report of the commission, now in possession of CNN-IBN, would have nailed several top politicians of BJP and JDU had the report been public and fearing the consequences, the state government had disbanded the commission.
The commission has found Ranveer Sena's political friends include bigwigs not just from Bihar's polity, but from the national political scene.
“It’s clear that people from JD(U) and BJP are involved. The papers nd channels are full of it,” Member of CPI-M(L) Bathe constituency Mahanand says.
“Nitish Kumar may have put the Amir Das report in the dustbin, but the poor people wasn’t justice. Those involved with the Ranvir Sena should have been punished but they are being shielded,” Leader, CPI(ML) KD Yadav, says.
As many as 37 politicians have been named in the report; the links were established through the personal diary of Ranvir Sena chief Brahmeshwar Mukhiya.
Documents available with CNN-IBN indicate that the commission was set to frame clear charges against political bigwigs like senior BJP leaders Sushil Kumar Modi and Murli Manohar Joshi.
