The case of Suresh Singh Mastan’s murder in Motihari, Bihar, has taken a surprising turn. The police, who have been portraying Purushottam Kumar as a fugitive and seeking court orders for property attachment, are now facing scrutiny. Human rights advocate S.K. Jha has discovered that Kumar is, in fact, working in the SSB. This revelation has exposed a discrepancy in the police’s narrative.
The Suresh Singh Mastan murder case in Kundwa Chainpur involved ten accused, with five already receiving life sentences from the Motihari court. The court has been repeatedly told that Purushottam Kumar is a fugitive. However, the investigation conducted by the victim’s lawyer, S.K. Jha, revealed Kumar’s employment at the SSB DIG office in Muzaffarpur. This information has been shared with multiple authorities, including the National Human Rights Commission. It is alleged that the police are attempting to shield the accused, causing unrest within the administrative departments.
