The atmosphere became tense after the murder of 21-year-old youth Rahul Kumar on Thursday (December 12) in Baswariya village under Nautan police station area of West Champaran district of Bihar. He was allegedly attacked by a group of people near Bagahi Lohia bridge, after which the seriously injured Rahul was first taken to GMCH and then referred to Rahmania Hospital in Motihari.
According to the information, he died during treatment. As soon as the news of the death was received, anger erupted in the village and a large number of villagers came out on the streets.
Angry villagers blocked Bettiah-Nautan main road
The villagers blocked the Bettiah-Nautan main road with the help of bamboo sticks, wood and barricades, due to which traffic came to a standstill for about two hours. Nautan and the police from nearby police stations reached the spot and tried to convince the people and the situation gradually came under control. However, tension remained in the entire area during the jam and people kept demanding immediate arrest of the accused.
Police named six people
While filing a complaint with the police, Rahul’s mother Kamalavati Devi has named six people from Baswariya and Sansarai villages namely Ambedkar Patel, Hrithik Kumar, Bablu Patel, Golu Yadav, Amit Yadav and Jhunjhun Kumar along with five-six other unknown people. It is alleged in the complaint that Jhunjhun Kumar called Rahul out of the house and after that he was attacked and killed as part of a conspiracy. The family says that the accused first hit Rahul’s motorcycle and then attacked his head and body with an iron rod and bike shock-absorber pipe. Rahul’s condition had deteriorated significantly due to serious head injuries.
The shocking thing is that after the incident, the accused called Rahul’s family and informed them that he had met with an accident. The police is calling it a conspiracy to murder and is investigating from multiple angles, in which the possibility of old enmity and personal dispute is also being raised.
Immediate action taken to remove the jam
Sadar SDPO Vivek Deep said that immediate action was taken to remove the road jam and restore peace. He said that an FIR has been registered and a special team has been formed to arrest the accused. Police are claiming that the matter will be solved soon. On the other hand, after the incident, there is mourning in Baswariya and surrounding areas and the villagers are continuously demanding justice.
