Tension gripped Garhwa after a vegetable seller’s cold-blooded murder in Bizka market, but police have now smashed the conspiracy. Three men—Vijay Singh, Jethu Singh, and mastermind Sarju Choudhary—surrendered to relentless pursuit, yielding the gun and getaway bikes.
February 25, 6:30 PM: In Bhandaria’s crowded Bizka bazaar, Deepak Choudhary faced death without warning. A gunman emerged from the throng, pumping three rounds into his chest. He crumpled instantly, blood staining the market floor, as screams and stampeding feet filled the air.
Rescuers ferried the Fakiradih native to MMC Hospital in Medininagar, only for medics to confirm the inevitable. The public slaying, rooted in a festering land tussle, ignited outrage and demands for swift justice.
Garhwa SP’s special squad, headed by Ranka SDPO, sprang into action. Digital footprints, witness statements, and secret intel pieced together the plot: Sarju, nursing grudges over disputed land, hired shooters to settle scores permanently.
Seized evidence ties the accused directly to the scene. Cases under murder and arms act provisions are underway, with custody remands sought. This case exemplifies effective policing amid Jharkhand’s challenges with rural vendettas, restoring some faith in the system.
