A routine birthday outing turned deadly in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur when motorcycle marauders gunned down Shivam Kumar, offspring of SSB jawan Umesh Kumar, in broad rural view. The graduate student from Shahbazpur was biking with friends through Ahiyapur’s Muradpur Dullaha when he halted at the infamous litchi garden mosque spot.
In a flash, two daredevils discharged a stomach-shot and fled, igniting frenzy. Pals hauled the profusely bleeding man to Bairiya private care, where op extracted the lead – yet critical care persists amid organ threats.
Kin refute vendettas; father’s distant posting in Araria heightens woes. Community fury targets police lapses: narcotic lairs flourish sans raids, patrols phantom despite SDPO vicinity. Delayed arrival despite proximity stokes distrust.
Cops engaged family, victim; ASP Suresh Kumar detailed post-op statement for FIR registration. Shivam’s kidnapping FIR adds layers to probe. Sweeping operations net suspects soon, pledged officials.
Muzaffarpur’s crime wave surges unabated – orchards as outlaw oases symbolize neglect. This soldier-family assault signals tipping point: bolster vigilance, dismantle dens, or witness anarchy’s bloom. Shivam’s bedside vigil mirrors a society’s security reckoning.
