A poultry businessman in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur met a violent end when assailants on a bike chased and gunned him down, ignoring his prior warnings of death threats. The gruesome attack in Koili Bhav village has ignited panic and calls for better policing in the Ram Pur Hari jurisdiction.
Randhir Kumar, who balanced a poultry farm with a bustling paan shop and money-lending, was heading home with daily provisions. Unbeknownst to him, deadly shadows followed. In an isolated spot, the duo opened fire, lodging bullets in his left arm twice and fatally in his chest. He tumbled off his bike, prompting locals to speed him to SKMCH—too late, as medics pronounced him gone.
The crime scene yielded two shell casings, processed by FSL alongside police under SHO Shivendra Narayan Singh. Randhir’s phone vanishing fuels theories of a planned hit, corroborated by wife Chintu Devi’s account of incessant threat calls they dismissed.
Community leaders from RJD, including Munna Yadav, rallied at the hospital, sympathizing with the shattered family. Cousin Shashi Ranjan denied enmities, but SDPO Alay Vatsya’s team suspects personal grudges, delving into finances and local disputes through family statements.
This isn’t just a loss; it’s a stark reminder of unchecked crime in rural pockets. Randhir’s dual life—farmer, lender, shopkeeper—might have crossed paths with danger. As investigations intensify, Muzaffarpur braces for revelations. Authorities pledge rapid action, but rebuilding trust demands more than promises.
