A shocking twist in Purnia’s high-profile murder saga: businessman Suraj Bihari was slain with his personal pistol by five arrested assailants, as revealed by SP Swati Sahrawat in a riveting press meet. The crime, rooted in an Instagram post dispute, has left the community reeling.
Detailed confessions paint a picture of chaos—a verbal clash online boiled over into fisticuffs where the group overpowered Suraj, seizing his gun for the kill shot. Police swiftly recovered the murder weapon, closing a critical loop in the investigation.
The fugitives’ nationwide scramble—to Delhi, Noida, Bhopal, Farakka, Howrah—aimed at Nepal sanctuary, but Purnia sleuths struck decisively. Saturday arrests in Rupouli snared three, while Muzaffarpur yielded two more. Two masterminds lurk, facing asset freezes.
Grief doubled when Suraj’s father died of heartbreak, fueling assembly debates by Tejashwi Yadav and AIMIM’s Akhtarul Iman. SP Sahrawat pledged rigorous scrutiny of social media roles and expedited prosecutions.
From viral post to vicious homicide, this case spotlights social platforms’ dark underbelly and the lethal mix with firearms. Purnia’s law enforcers remain vigilant, vowing no stone unturned for full accountability.
