The specter of violent crime looms larger over Bihar following the cold-blooded murder of engineering aspirant Vikas Tiwari in Chhapra. Returning home from Patna, the student met a gruesome end at the hands of robbers he valiantly opposed near Nagar police limits.
Details emerging paint a harrowing picture: Vikas alighted at Kachahari station around dusk, backpack slung over his shoulder. A notorious gang materialized, weapons drawn, insisting on his gadgets and money. His spirited resistance triggered the unthinkable – a gunshot that felled him instantly.
Chaos ensued as the assailants vanished into the night, but not before locals mobilized an ambulance rush to Sadar Hospital. Tragically, the young man was pronounced lifeless upon entry. Authorities have preserved the remains for detailed autopsy.
Public ire has boiled over, with throngs condemning the police’s apparent negligence. ‘This is the third such attack this month. When will it end?’ decried protesters, highlighting absent foot patrols and unchecked gang activity.
Grief-stricken kin confront unimaginable pain, filing complaints while beseeching higher-ups for vengeance. ‘He dreamed of building bridges; now he’s buried because of beasts,’ lamented a sibling.
Chhapra’s top cops have mobilized elite squads, vowing to crack the case via footage forensics and tip-offs. ‘Intensive operations are underway. No stone unturned,’ they declared.
Zooming out, Vikas’s assassination mirrors Bihar’s broader malaise: escalating street crimes amid strained resources. Stakeholders urge integrated responses – from AI-monitored cams to economic upliftment – to safeguard the vulnerable.
In memoriam, Vikas Tiwari urges action. His untimely exit could ignite a reckoning, compelling Bihar to fortify its defenses against the marauders menacing its streets.
