Meanwhile, incidents of crime continue to be on the rise in Bihar. On June 12, Businessman Vikram Jha was shot by an unidentified person in the Ram Krishna Nagar area and died while being taken to the hospital.
According to police, Jha was shot by a person who arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire. A murder case has been registered, and an investigation is underway.
Jha, originally from Darbhanga district, had been living in Patna for a year and ran a grocery store. He lived with his family on the first floor of the same building.
Speaking to the media, SP Patna East Parichay Kumar said, “Vikram Jha, a resident under PS Ram Krishna Nagar limits, was shot at some time ago. When he was being taken to the hospital, he died. As soon as we received the information, the DSP and I arrived at the crime scene. On analysing the CCTV footage, we found that the deceased owned a grocery store, and a person came on a motorbike and shot him. There seems to be no evidence of robbery in the store.”
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Leader of Opposition in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, has criticised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the state’s law and order situation, following the killing of Jha.
In a post on X, Yadav wrote, “Murder of businessman Vikram Jha by shooting in Patna! DK Tax transfer industry is the main reason for the chaotic situation in the state. Why is the unconscious Chief Minister silent? Who is responsible for the hundreds of murders happening daily? Bhrasta (corrupt) Bhoonja Party, answer.”
Earlier, on July 4, businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead near the main gate of his house in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan area. He had previously requested police protection for his family. (ANI)
