A day after the firing incident in Bihar’s Begusarai district in which nine persons were injured and one was shot dead, seven policemen were suspended on Wednesday.
Five suspects were detained for interrogation. BJP workers blocked the National and State Highways while the party leaders slammed the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government in Bihar over deteriorating law and order situation.
Two motorcycle-borne miscreants, while crossing three police stations, had opened indiscriminate fire for over 25 minutes while moving on the National Highways 28 and 31 at different places in Begusarai district on Tuesday, killing Chandan Kumar, 31, and injuring nine others. Some of the injured were later shifted to Patna for better medical assistance. The miscreants first opened fire at the Malhipur chowk (thoroughfare) in Begusarai town.
