Gunfire Erupts Near Hotel in Hazaribagh, Creating Panic Among Locals

Hazaribagh, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Late Friday evening, a shocking incident unfolded near the AK International hotel on Station Road in the Barhi area of Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand. Criminals unleashed a barrage of gunfire, reportedly firing four to five rounds, which sent shockwaves through the local community and business owners.

In a chilling twist, a threatening note attributed to the infamous Rahul Dubey gang was discovered at the scene, leading authorities to suspect a connection to this notorious group. Upon receiving news of the incident, Barhi’s Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and several senior officers swiftly arrived with a substantial police presence to thoroughly examine the area.

Police are currently reviewing nearby CCTV footage to uncover the motive behind the shooting and identify the assailants. Based on the note found at the scene, law enforcement is actively searching for either sleeper agents or active members of the Rahul Dubey gang.

This incident is reminiscent of a similar shooting that occurred two weeks prior, on October 29, at the same hotel. During that attack, three to four unidentified gunmen fired four rounds at the main entrance, shattering the glass but fortunately causing no injuries, as the security guard narrowly escaped harm.

Following the earlier incident, the Rahul Dubey gang claimed responsibility through a post on social media. In response to the escalating violence, Hazaribagh police formed a special investigation team. This team successfully apprehended a gang member during an encounter in the Uriyari jungle area on November 6.
