Motihari police has come close to solving the famous Zila Parishad murder case. The SIT team is trying its best to reach the main conspirator by connecting one thread to another after every arrest. The police has now started investigation in the direction of political murder. Currently, Motihari police has started investigation on the angle of the deceased Zila Parishad’s role in the upcoming Narkatiya assembly elections and the no-confidence motion against the Zila Parishad president.
According to the information, after this high profile murder that took place in broad daylight at Chandmari Chowk, there is a lot of discussion and rumours in Motihari. Everyone wants to know the real reason behind the murder. It is said that two days before the murder of the Zila Parishad, a meeting was held at Hanuman Dubey’s house in Phulwar of Banjaria police station area. About 10 people had participated in it, out of which the police has the names of six and the police is searching for the names of the other four. Hanuman Dubey, murder accused Timan alias Niranjan Dubey, Lucky, Harishankar Paswan, Avinash alias Rajkumar and Ashok Yadav had participated in the meeting held at Hanuman Dubey’s place.
Ramesh Mahto, arrested in the murder case, told the police that he had brought the liquor during the meeting held two days before the murder. Ramesh told that after the murder, he had taken Avinash alias Rajkumar, who was involved in the murder, to Kaleya in Nepal via Adapur border on the instructions of Hanuman Dubey. From there, a youth named Guddu took Avinash with him to Birganj. Ramesh also told that the murder of the Zila Parishad is a contract killing, for which Timan alias Niranjan Dubey has ten lakh rupees with him. Now this has become an important point in the police investigation that if the matter was of the village PACS election or the reason for local dominance with Hanuman Dubey, then why would Hanuman Dubey give a contract of ten lakh rupees to the murderer Timan Dubey alias Niranjan Dubey (Hanuman Dubey’s nephew)? In such a situation, there are two reasons left for the murder in front of the police. First, the no-confidence motion against the Zila Parishad President and second, the upcoming Narkatiya Assembly elections.
Motihari SP Kantesh Mishra said that the SIT is investigating all the angles of the murder. The famous Zila Parishad member Suresh Yadav was shot dead at Chandmari Chowk six days ago. Four killers arrived at the crime scene on two motorcycles. Avinash alias Rajkumar was on one motorcycle who was acting as a liner a little distance away from the crime scene. There were three goons on the other motorcycle. Lucky was driving the motorcycle, Harishankar Paswan and Timan alias Niranjan Dubey rode the motorcycle after committing the murder.
