News India Live, Digital Desk: Ramdhani Yadav’s name was once considered synonymous with fear in the crime world of Bihar. But after the EO Krishna Bhushan murder case, when the police cracked down on this muscleman, the scene that unfolded was no less than a film script. Today, after the death of Ramdhani Yadav, that encounter is once again in the news, when he had given an open challenge to the Bhagalpur police. The streets of Sultanganj echoed with the sound of bullets amid the police siege and retaliatory firing from Ramdhani.

Krishna Bhushan murder case and police’s ‘Mission Ramdhani’ There was immense pressure on Bhagalpur Police after the murder of Executive Officer (EO) Krishna Bhushan. As soon as the needle of investigation turned towards Ramdhani Yadav, the police started laying a trap for his arrest. Input was received that Ramdhani was hiding in the area along with his henchmen. Under the leadership of the then brave police officers, a heavy force surrounded Ramdhani’s hideout from all sides. The intention of the police was to force surrender, but Ramdhani had other intentions.

When the rain of bullets started: face-to-face combat As soon as the police vehicles reached near Ramdhani, he and his associates started firing indiscriminately at the police team. The police also had to come into defensive mode due to this sudden attack. According to eyewitnesses, several rounds of bullets were fired. The police repeatedly warned through loudspeaker to surrender, but Ramdhani was trying to overpower the police. Police retaliatory action and tight cordon finally pushed Baahubali on the backfoot.

Chased from fields to homes, then arrested During the encounter, Ramdhani tried his best to escape. He took help of fields and narrow lanes, but the special team of police did not give him any chance to escape. Finally, surrounded from all sides and running out of ammunition, the police caught Ramdhani Yadav. This encounter was considered a major success of Bhagalpur Police, because catching Ramdhani was no less than a challenge.

Fear and political journey after the encounter After this encounter and arrest, Ramdhani Yadav’s influence in the news increased instead of decreasing. Despite going to jail, his influence did not diminish, the proof of which was his wife Neelam Devi contesting the elections from LJP in 2020. Today, when the news of Ramdhani’s death has come, people are remembering that period when there was a ‘clash’ between the police and criminals in Bhagalpur. This encounter proved that the arm of the law is always longer than the reach of the criminals.
