During a meeting with top administration officials, Nitish Kumar also expressed his unhappiness over the delay in taking action against Pandey.

The move came after a video went viral on social media on Tuesday in which Pandey was allegedly seen sexually assaulting a minor girl.

Kishanganj Superintendent of Police Rajiv Ranjan late on Tuesday asked Sub-Divisional Police Officer Kamini Bala to probe the matter and submit a report.
