The murder of a journalist Vimal Yadav, employed at Dainik Jagran, who was shot dead at his home in the early hours of Friday in the Araria district of Bihar, was allegedly carried out by four persons, according to Bihar Police. Four individuals showed up at his Raniganj home and opened fire on him, hitting him in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the four people who were detained on Saturday, according to the police, were responsible for the murder of Vimal Yadav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Vimal’s father’s complaint, a case was filed. Four of the eight suspects identified in the FIR were arrested earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the suspect also killed Vimal Yadav’s sibling. In that case, Vimal was the only witness, and he felt immense pressure to change his testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several people were disturbed by the murder, including Chirag Paswan, the head of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), who criticised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, for failing to uphold law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After expressing his sorrow at the murder in Araria, CM Nitish Kumar said, he had ordered officials to take immediate action soon after receiving the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a preliminary investigation by the Bihar Police, the murder showed that the deceased had a history of enmity with his neighbours, which could have led to the occurrence. Two years prior, Vimal’s brother was also killed in the same way. The late journalist had not yet testified in court against his sibling’s murderers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bihar Police announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the 35-year-old victim was a local journalist for the Dainik Jagran newspaper. Around 5:30 a.m., the burglars called his name and knocked on his door. When he opened the door, they shot him in the chest, according to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, the police station chief arrived at the scene at around 05:35 and started an investigation. Superintendent of Police Araria also paid a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
