Police arrest man for firing in Gopalganj

PATNA: Police on Saturday one Guddu Singh for his alleged involvement in the firing on a private hospital run by Anup Upadhyay at Arar Mor under Town police station in Gopalganj late Friday night. Guddu also owns a private hospital in the town.

Police sources said at least a dozen rounds were fired on the hospital building.There were bullet marks on its windows and walls. However, no one was injured in the incident.
Gopalganj Sadar SDPO Naresh Paswan said the incident took place around 9pm. “The JD(U) party office is located just above the hospital, but the incident had nothing to do with it. Firing was actually the fallout of business rivalry between the owners of the hospitals in the same locality,” he said.
Town police station SHO Prashant Kumar said five empty cartridges were found on the road in front of the hospital building. He said that Guddu was picked up after midnight for interrogation and was finally arrested.
“Guddu had threatened Anup at least four times in the past to get his hospital shifted to some other locality,” the SHO said.
