ARA: Two bike-borne criminals shot dead 32-year-old man Prince Kumar alias ‘Patwari’ of Kaura village and injured his 45-year-old co-villager Shanti Bhushan Singh alias Sunil Singh for resisting the loot bid near their village under Jagdishpur police station area in Bhojpur district on Saturday. Prince was the nephew of Shri Ram Singh, a police inspector posted in the special branch at Ara.
Both were crossing the Ara-Mohania road near Kaura village on way to their agricultural fields when the miscreants intercepted them.While Prince succumbed to his injury on the way to Ara Sadar hospital, Singh was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the town. He has received bullet injuries in his left side of the chest and wrist.
Dr Vikash Singh, under whom the injured is getting treatment, said though the bullet stuck in his left side of the chest has been removed, he will be kept under observation for the next 72 hours because of profuse bleeding.
Jagdishpur police station SHO Sanjeev Kumar said: “Both were going to their agricultural fields when two bike-borne miscreants intercepted them on the road and tried to snatch their gold chains. When they opposed the loot bid, the miscreants fired at them. As the bike of the miscreants failed to start, they looted the bike of a person going towards Aiyar village and escaped. The police have seized the bike left behind by the miscreants and efforts were on to trace its owner and nab the culprits.”
