Suspicious Death Investigation Underway in Giridih, Road Blocked

The Jagsimar Panchayat in Giridih’s Bhelwaghati police area is experiencing significant unrest following the suspicious death of a local resident, Upendra Yadav. Yadav was last seen returning from Chatro market and his death occurred near Fatehpur. His family has openly accused individuals of murder, plunging the village into mourning and outrage. In response, community members have staged a road blockade to demand justice and the immediate arrest of those responsible. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Rajendra Prasad has been present at the scene, engaging with the protestors to restore order. The possibility of a fatal road accident is also being considered by some, but the prevailing sentiment among the villagers is that of a targeted killing, exacerbating the sensitive situation. DSP Prasad has assured the public of a thorough and unbiased investigation, vowing to prosecute any found guilty of murder. The road blockade persisted at the time of this report, despite efforts by law enforcement.
