Under fire from the Opposition over the Muzaffarpur shelter home rape case, the Janta Dal (United) asserted on Sunday that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would not resign and said it was ready for a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into it.

Rejecting the demand for Kumar's resignation, senior JD(U) leader K C Tyagi slammed Opposition leaders, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi for attending the RJD-organised protest in Jantar Mantar on Saturday.
