Violence erupted in Patna’s heart as goons invaded the home of PDS dealer Sulekha Gupta in Alamganj’s Dadar Mandi, stabbing her fatally during the day. The 45-year-old mother and wife was defenseless against the barbaric attack that left her body riddled with knife wounds.
Details emerging paint a gruesome picture: intruders slashed her neck, arms, and throat multiple times before vanishing. Despite emergency transport to NMCH, medical staff could not revive her. Pantu Gupta, her husband and a clerk at Patna City Court, faces an unimaginable tragedy.
Cops have taken charge, forwarding the corpse for postmortem and initiating a CCTV dragnet to trace the killers. Five stab injuries were noted, suggesting a targeted hit. ‘Every resource is mobilized for their capture,’ assured police sources.
Locals express outrage over the unchecked crime spree plaguing Bihar’s capital—daily reports of heists and homicides erode public trust. PDS dealers, often handling cash and rations, may be soft targets for robbers. As the family mourns amid heightened tension, authorities face mounting pressure to restore order and deliver justice before the next headline.
