Bihar’s Ara city reels from a heinous crime: 12th grader Sunny Kumar Singh, 18, from Ekawna under Badhara thana, was snatched off the streets while going to coaching and savagely killed. Living in Dhanupra with kin, he departed Friday morning alongside a buddy for Nawada’s KG Road institute—a path that led to his watery grave.
Distress signals came fast. Sunny dialed cousin at 10:50 AM about youths around him, then brother with chilling words: forced bike ride to Garhni, death plot afoot. Phone silenced abruptly; family hit Nawada station with missing alert.
Police mobilized, dissecting CCTV from the vicinity. A breakthrough suspect in nets spilled details. Friday night yielded Sunny’s strangled remains from Piprahia underpass pit in Muffasil jurisdiction. Postmortem pending at Sadar Hospital.
Motive unmasks social media venom: Instagram tussle with a girl’s beau. Abduction, beating, strangulation followed. Trio in grips, facing heat. ‘Investigation thorough; truth emerging,’ Nawada head Bipin Bihari declared.
Panic engulfs Bhojpur villages. This isn’t mere homicide—it’s a call to arms against digital disputes morphing lethal. Parents huddle in fear, demanding fortified routes to classes. Cops boost presence, but only convictions will heal this wound.
