Today (Sunday), he came here to drink tea and was shot while returning. Three bullet shells have been recovered from the spot. The identities of the criminals and their motives behind the incident are being investigated. FSL teams, local police, and the SDO were called after I learned about the incident.

Preliminary information suggests the deceased was a lawyer who had not practised for the last two years. The case is under thorough investigation, as stated by SP.
“Based on preliminary information, we got to know that the accused was a lawyer, but was not practising for the last two years,” he said.
On the pertaining law and order situation, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday claimed there was no organised crime in the state, adding that “it is a bit difficult for the government to stop” murders stemming from personal disputes.
“There is good governance in Bihar, there is no organised crime,” Choudhary told ANI.
“If a murder is taking place due to some personal dispute, it is a bit difficult for the government to stop it. But no organised crime will be allowed to take place in Bihar. This is clear,” he added. (ANI)
