In the shadows of what many call Bihar's 'Jungle Raj', the tragic story of B Biswas, a senior IAS officer, unfolded with a grim end. Biswas passed away due to kidney failure at Raj Hospital in Ranchi on the morning of August 13, 2002, at the age of 53. Originally serving in the 1982 Bihar cadre, he was later allocated to the Jharkhand cadre after the state was divided.
