Ex-Convict Shot Dead Outside Government School in Motihari; Two Apprehended Following SIT Probe

A 25-year-old man with a criminal record, Suman Yadav, was shot dead outside Gola Pakariya School in Motihari, Bihar. The Lakhaura Police and SIT have launched a massive investigation, resulting in the arrest of two key suspects. Read the full details of the daylight shooting and the ongoing police crackdown in East Champaran.

A brazen daylight shooting outside a government school in East Champaran has once again cast a spotlight on the volatile law-and-order situation in the region. Suman Yadav, alias Vicky, a 25-year-old man with a documented criminal history, was gunned down by unidentified assailants on Tuesday morning near the Gola Pakariya Higher Secondary School under the jurisdiction of the Lakhaura Police Station. The audacity of the attack, occurring in the immediate vicinity of an educational institution during peak morning hours, triggered widespread panic and led to a massive gathering of agitated locals at the scene.

While the motive behind the targeted killing remains under investigation, police officials confirmed that the victim was no stranger to the law. Yadav had recently been released after a criminal parade at the Ghorasahan Police Station, a fact that has led investigators to explore the possibility of gang rivalry or retaliatory violence. Following the shooting, Lakhaura Police personnel rushed the critically injured Yadav to a nearby private medical facility. However, as his condition deteriorated, doctors referred him to a specialized hospital in Muzaffarpur. Tragically, Yadav succumbed to his injuries while in transit, turning the attempt-to-murder case into a full-scale homicide investigation.

Motihari Superintendent of Police, Swarn Prabhat, has taken a proactive stance to restore public confidence, announcing that the district police have already made significant breakthroughs. Through a combination of technical surveillance and human intelligence, the authorities successfully identified the perpetrators within hours of the crime. Two primary suspects have been taken into custody and are currently undergoing intensive interrogation to uncover the wider conspiracy and identify potential accomplices.

To ensure a watertight case, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to oversee the multi-pronged inquiry. Forensics (FSL) teams have combed the crime scene for ballistic evidence, while investigators are meticulously scanning CCTV footage from cameras installed near the school and along the escape routes. Simultaneously, police units are conducting coordinated raids across neighboring areas to flush out any remaining suspects linked to the murder. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the persistent challenges faced by district authorities in curbing organized crime, even as the swift arrests indicate a bolstered response mechanism aimed at deterring further escalations of violence in public spaces.
