PATNA/ARA: Two people, including an RJD activist, were killed and an LJP functionary-cum-mukhiya was shot at in separate incidents in the state in the last 24 hours. The murder of the RJD activist, Ravi Yadav (27), triggered violent protests by his associates in Bhjopur district.
Police said the criminals shot dead Ravi and dumped his body near Ramdihra village under the Garhani police station area in Bhojpur district late on Wednesday night.
His body was recovered on Thursday morning.
Ravi’s father Haridwar Yadav told the police that he had gone to attend the ‘shradh’ of an acquaintance at a nearby village. The family started searching for Ravi when he didn’t return home till late in the night. In the morning, his body was recovered.
The bullet had hit Ravi’s head. External injuries on his face were also spotted, which indicated that he was first assaulted and then shot from point blank range. Ravi, a resident of Bhendri village under Aayar police station, had unsuccessfully contested the panchayat elections from Bhendri in 2016.
As the news about Ravi’s murder spread in the area, his associates blocked Ara-Piro-Sasaram road near Garhani and disrupted vehicular traffic. They raised anti-government slogans for rise in crime in Bhojpur district. The roadblock was lifted after intervention of senior police officials.
Sub-divisional police officer P K Rawat said raids were on to arrest the criminals involved in the murder.
