A gun attack on Amarjeet Kumar in Ara is believed to be connected to a previous murder case. Police are investigating the incident.
Ara, October 21 (Daily Kiran) : A gun attack on the son of a Home Guard in Ara, Bihar, has raised concerns about ongoing rivalries in the area. The incident occurred on the night of Vijayadashami near DK Carmel School in the Maulabagh locality. The victim, identified as 33-year-old Amarjeet Kumar Yadav, was severely injured and rushed to the hospital.
Amarjeet is the son of Sanjay Yadav, a Home Guard, and works as a driver for the municipal corporation. He recounted that the attack may be linked to a previous murder case from March 2, 2026. In that case, a 17-year-old named Aadarsh Kumar was shot and killed, with Amarjeet and his brothers, Navneet and Manjeet Yadav, named as suspects. Amarjeet claimed they were falsely implicated, and his brother Navneet is currently incarcerated.
Since the murder, Amarjeet reported receiving threats to his life. On the night of the attack, he was riding his motorcycle to a hotel for dinner when two assailants on a Splendor motorcycle opened fire. One bullet narrowly missed his head, while another struck his right shoulder.
Upon learning of the incident, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Sushil Kumar rushed to the hospital to gather details from Amarjeet. The victim informed the police that the attack was likely a retaliation for the earlier murder. Amarjeet provided names of two suspects, and the police are actively conducting raids to apprehend them.
