In the heart of Patna, Bihar, a tragic event unfolded on Wednesday night as Saurabh Kumar, a youthful leader of the Janata Dal United, fell victim to a fatal shooting perpetrated by unidentified assailants. The incident also left another individual, Munmun Kumar, wounded from the gunfire.
Reports from authorities suggest that Saurabh Kumar, in the company of his companions, was returning from a joyous occasion celebrating a matrimonial union when the tranquility of the night shattered with the abrupt attack by four assailants riding a motorcycle.
Detailing the harrowing incident, Kanhaiya Singh, serving as the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) in Punpun, relayed, “In the precincts of Badhiyakol, Punpun, the vibrant spirit and promising potential of Saurav Kumar, a distinguished leader of the JDU and erstwhile candidate for the Sakraicha Panchayat leadership, was tragically extinguished by nefarious elements on the fateful night of Wednesday. Saurabh endured five vicious gunshot wounds inflicted by shadowy figures, while his companion Munmun bore the brunt of three such assaults.”
Continuing, Singh expressed, “They were expeditiously transported to the medical facility, where the valiant Saurabh was regrettably pronounced deceased upon arrival, while Munmun remains under intensive medical care in a precarious state. Our diligent efforts encompass scrutinizing the surveillance footage and amassing pertinent evidence. A thorough investigation is presently underway to apprehend the culpable parties responsible for this reprehensible act.”
