A distressing incident has emerged from the Bihta police station area in Patna, where the body of former village head Sanjay Singh Yadav of Raghopur Panchayat was discovered in a local field. The recovery of the body near a boring well on Friday morning sent shockwaves through the community, creating a tense atmosphere in Raghopur village. Crowds gathered at the scene, and within a short time, local residents began staging a protest. The demonstrators blocked the road and engaged in arson, causing long queues of vehicles on both sides of the thoroughfare.
The Deceased Was Wanted by Authorities
According to available information, Sanjay Singh Yadav had been under the radar of law enforcement for some time. Authorities had recently conducted a raid at his residence, following which he had been absconding. While the police were actively searching for him, the discovery of his body on Friday morning caused a significant stir. Upon receiving news of the incident, the Bihta police arrived at the scene with reinforcements and initiated an investigation. The situation escalated when the police attempted to take the body for a post-mortem examination, but the agitated crowd prevented them from doing so. Given the sensitivity of the situation, senior officials and an FSL team were called to the scene.
Family Alleges Police Complicity
The death of the former village head has sparked severe resentment against the police administration. The sister of the deceased has leveled serious allegations against the local police, claiming that they are responsible for the death. The family explicitly blames the police for the killing. In response to the heavy public outrage and the tense situation, additional police forces have been deployed at the site to maintain order. Senior officials are currently camping at the location and are engaged in discussions to pacify the protestors. The police have stated that further legal action will be determined based on the post-mortem report and scientific evidence gathered at the site.
