“Veermani Kumar, who was posted at Hajipur in the adjoining district of Vaishali, was shot dead in Sonepur police station area late last night.

He received bullet injuries in his chest”, Superintendent of Police, Saran, Harkishor Rai, told PTI over phone.
A police party rushed to the spot and took the engineer to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, the SP said. Rai claimed that investigations have revealed that the engineer was involved in a property dispute and a case had beeen lodged in this connection at a police staion in Patna.
“We suspect that those with whom Kumar was involved in the dispute, are behind the murder,” the SP said. “As of now, we are not disclosing the identity of the suspects since they may become alert and try to escape. We are hopeful of arresting them soon. The manner in which the murder took place showed that the killers were familiar with the route the engineer took for commuting to and from his place of work”, the SP said.
