A tense police encounter in Bihar’s Madhubani district ended with the arrest of Mohammad Arsad, a fugitive linked to a grisly murder, after he was shot in the leg during a bid to flee. The operation unfolded Sunday in Rajnagar thana limits, spotlighting the force’s resolve against violent crime.
Flashback to February 10: Jiram Mandal was ambushed and fatally shot by unknowns near Ragho Pur Balat en route to town. The incident ignited a full-scale manhunt, spearheaded by a crack team from SP Yogendra Kumar’s office under SDPO Sadar-Do. Persistent leads zeroed in on Arsad, whose movements were tracked via informant networks.
Positioned at Rampatti’s Balat Road checkpost, officers halted a fast-approaching bike. Arsad’s reflexive gunfire from his homemade pistol met with calibrated police response, the bullet finding his lower limb and halting his getaway. His two biker buddies melted into darkness, but Arsad couldn’t evade the loaded pistol confiscation.
Rajnagar station logged the encounter FIR promptly. With a notorious history of over five cases involving robbery, mugging, and theft, Arsad’s capture is a major win. Ongoing interrogations seek to unravel the murder conspiracy and nab the escapees. For Madhubani’s citizens, it’s a beacon of security amid rising concerns over armed gangs.
