A shocking incident has emerged from Hajipur in Bihar, where a 19-year-old youth was allegedly shot dead by his own friends in a gruesome betrayal of friendship. The brutal murder has sent shockwaves throughout the entire locality, creating an atmosphere of fear and outrage. The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Tinku alias Vivek Kumar, a resident of Narendra Prabodhi village under the Sarai police station jurisdiction. His father was the late Kuleshwar Rai, according to available details.
Lured to a Desolate Spot and Shot Dead
According to reports, Tinku was called away from his home by his acquaintances on the night of November 9. They escorted him to a secluded and deserted location far away from the village, where they allegedly pumped three bullets into him. The young man died on the spot from the gunshot wounds. Police stated that the perpetrators then loaded his body into a car and transported it to another hiding place in a bid to conceal the crime and evade detection by anyone.
Body Recovered from Pond After Six Days
Nearly six days after the incident, the victim's body was discovered floating in a village pond under mysterious circumstances. Locals noticed stray dogs mauling a body near the water body and immediately alerted the local police authorities. Upon arriving at the scene, the police retrieved the body from the pond. The remains were in a severely decomposed state, prompting family members to identify him as Tinku alias Vivek Kumar. Police subsequently transferred the body to PMCH in Patna for a post-mortem examination.
Two Accused Arrested, Manhunt On for Three Others
Taking swift legal action in the case, law enforcement officers managed to arrest two prime suspects, identified as Prince Paswan and Gaurav Kumar. Both individuals have been sent to judicial custody following their arrest. Additionally, authorities have confiscated the car allegedly used to transport the victim's corpse away from the primary crime scene. Police investigations indicate that a total of five individuals were involved in this heinous conspiracy. While two have been apprehended, a rigorous manhunt is currently underway to track down the three remaining fugitives.
Old Rivalry Suspected Behind the Murder
Preliminary findings suggest that a prior altercation or underlying dispute existed between the victim and the accused parties, which allegedly triggered the conspiracy to commit murder. Meanwhile, police are thoroughly investigating every single angle of the case. Authorities believe that once the absconding suspects are captured and interrogated, further vital details surrounding the execution of the crime will come to light.
