Patna, June 10
Two people were found murdered on Tuesday morning near the Majhauli-Singhara rural road under Bikram police station on the outskirts of Patna, triggering concerns about rising crime in the area. Earlier, on Monday three members of a family were shot at, with a mother-daughter duo losing their life in the drive-by shooting. These back-to-back murders in the last 24 hours have raised concerns about the law and order situation in Bihar.
Confirming the development, Patna SSP Awakash Kumar said that the villagers alerted the police about the presence of the bodies of two men lying by the roadside.
A police team promptly reached the spot and recovered the bullet-riddled bodies.
The deceased have been identified as Sonu Kumar and Roshan Kumar, both residents of Bagha Kol in Patna. Sonu has a criminal background and he was allegedly involved in the murder case of Chokidar in 2022.
“Both individuals had visible gunshot wounds on their bodies. Their dead bodies were taken into police custody and shifted to a hospital for post-mortem.
“The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team has also been called to the scene to assist with the investigation. An FIR is being registered based on the statements of the relatives of the deceased,” Kumar said.
