"Samajh me nahi atta hai samaj kaha jaa raha hai...Vahan ko side nahi dene paar bachhe ka haatya kaar diya, (I fail to understand where the society is heading towards...A child was killed for not giving side to a vehicle)," Kumar said expressing shock at the sordid episode while parents of the victim sitting with him.
After arriving at Gaya airport from Patna, Kumar went straight to the members of the boy's family to share the grief of kin of the Class 12 boy.
He was accomponied by Chief Secretary Anjani Kumar Singh, Director General of Police P K Thakur, Principal Secretary Home Amir Subhani and Gaya range DIG Saurabh Kumar.
The CM has already expressed grief over death of the 20-year-old and had directed the police to ensure speedy trial in the case.
