PATNA: Police arrested notorious criminal and contract killer Bijendra Sharma alias Chotu Singh (25) along with one of his associates, Mantu Kumar (22), from Akhtiyarpur bridge under the Paliganj police station area in western Patna on Saturday.
A military-grade hand grenade, two country-made pistols and five live cartridges were recovered from the possession of the arrested criminals.
Police said Bijendra was involved in several contract killings in Paliganj, Arwal and Jehanabad.
While Bijendra is a native of Mera village under the Khidi Mor police station area in Paliganj, Mantu hails from Jhiktiya village under the Kinjar police station area in Arwal district. Bijendra is also nephew of Anil Sharma, who was once commander of now non-existing Ranbir Sena.
Paliganj SHO Sunil Kumar said acting on a tip-off, police intercepted the two criminals on the bridge and arrested them. “The seized grenade is generally used by the Indian Army,” the SHO said, adding Bijendra’s criminal history dates back to 2010. “He was evading arrest in connection with at least five murder cases lodged with Paliganj and Khidi Mor police stations in Patna,” he said.
