A day after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stated that Opposition parties were making false claims of the law and order in the State, a journalist in Araria district was shot dead by four people. Dainik Jagran reporter Vimal Kumar Yadav was shot in his chest at Raniganj block. One arrest has been made and the hunt is on to nab the other three.
Around 5.30 a.m. on Friday, four people knocked on the door of Mr. Yadav’s home and opened fire as soon as he answered the door. He was rushed to Raniganj Referral Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
Two years ago, Mr. Yadav was a witness to the murder of younger brother allegedly by the same people. The trial of that case is going on in court.
