A brazen bid to smuggle firepower into Patna Civil Court was crushed Wednesday when security nabbed Piyush Kumar, armed to the teeth with a chambered revolver. Teaming with an unidentified accomplice at Gate No. 1, the duo’s plot unraveled under watchful eyes.
The arrest sparked pandemonium—lawyers fleeing benches, staff hunkering down—as the pistol’s discovery hit. Swift police mobilization, spearheaded by Town DSP-1, whisked the Vaishali native to Pir Bahor for a deep dive.
SSP Kartikey Sharma cut through speculation: ‘Our deployments caught it early. Weapon and funds confiscated; partner’s ID pending. Custody chats suggest malice toward a lawyer or inmate appearing in court—clear intent for violence.’
Outrage boiled over from the legal fraternity, slamming entry protocols. ‘Courts aren’t fortresses yet,’ one barrister charged, rallying for AI scanners and doubled guards.
With the escapee hunted relentlessly, this saga unmasks contract killing creeps encroaching judicial turf. Piyush’s ties to crime lords are under scanner, promising a web of intrigue. Patna’s justice epicenter now fortifies, learning from a dodged disaster that could have rewritten headlines in blood.
