Madhubani killings caste war: Tejashwi blames former BJP minister

The JD(U) denied the allegations.

On March 29, a large group of people indiscriminately opened fire at the house of of one Rana Pratap Singh in Mohammedpur village, injuring six people. Five of the family died later. One is critical. Mohammedpur village is Rajput-dominated while Gebipur, where the accused are from, has a larger Brahmin population.

Bihar Additional DGP and police spokesperson Jitendra Kumar said: “The incident was the fallout of a prolonged clash over the control of a fish pond between the victim’s family and another family of a neighbouring village, Gebipur.”

Madhubani SP Satya Prakash said it was not a caste-based clash.
