PATNA: Unidentified criminals killed a farmer in front of his residence at ward number 16 in Mohalia village under Jadiya police station area of Supaul on Saturday night.
Police said the deceased has been identified as Sundar Lal (60). They said the incident took place at around 11.15pm. The village is on Supaul-Madhepura border.
Jadiya police station SHO Pankaj Kumar on Sunday said Sundar had received one bullet injury in his chest.
“The bullet had pierced through his body. He had fallen down at the entrance of his house. Sundar was rushed to Triveniganj sub-divisional hospital from where he was further rushed to district Sadar hospital around midnight,” he said, adding a pellet was recovered from the spot.
Kumar said Sundar was further referred to Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital for better treatment as his situation was critical. “However, he succumbed to the bullet injury at around 2am on Sunday while on way to Darbhanga,” the SHO said.
He said Sundar and a few other villagers had rushed outside their houses after hearing noise about theft.
He said one Amit Sardar is suspected in the case. “Sundar’s family members said he was spotted fleeing along with another unidentified person after Sundar was shot at,” Kumar said.
He said reasons behind the murder was yet not clear. “Amit is accused in a loot and land grabbing case registered with Jadiya police station. Sundar was also booked in a liquor smuggling case in June last year and had been to jail once in connection with the case. He was mainly engaged in farming,” he said.
The SHO said it has also surfaced before police that Amit used to visit Sundar’s residence very frequently.
Kumar said that Amit is a native of Parsahi village under Kumarkhand police station area of Madhubani, which is hardly one kilometre away from Mohalia. He said raids were conducted to nab Amit, but he was evading arrest.
