A very sensational and horrifying incident challenging law and order and police security has come to light from Darbhanga district of Bihar. An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), who was leading the police team during night patrolling and patrolling duty in Darbhanga, was shot at close range by fearless criminals. After being shot, the ASI, in a bleeding condition, was immediately admitted to Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) with the help of local police and fellow personnel, where his condition remains critical and a special team of doctors is engaged in his treatment. After this incident that happened at midnight, there has been a stir in the entire police department of Darbhanga district and many police teams are conducting intensive raids in search of the attackers.
This entire incident took place in a sensitive area under Darbhanga district, where the ASI along with his team was deployed on regular patrol. Seeing suspicious activities at night, when the ASI came forward and signaled some suspicious youths riding a motorcycle to stop, the criminals, seeing themselves surrounded, suddenly opened fire directly at the police team with the illegal weapon they had. The bullet directly hit the ASI and he fell on the spot. Immediately after carrying out the incident, the attackers took advantage of the darkness and fled on their speeding bike. Fellow soldiers immediately took the injured officer to DMCH. Considering the condition of ASI, he is being treated by specialist doctors in the emergency ward of the hospital, where the entire administrative staff is also keeping an eye on the situation.
As soon as information about the incident was received, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Darbhanga, City SP and Police Station Heads of local police stations reached the spot with heavy police force. The forensic team and technical branch of the police inspected the spot and collected evidence. Strict sealing has been imposed on all entry and exit gates of the district with immediate effect. The footage of nearby CCTV cameras is being scrutinized so that the direction and identity of the attacking criminals can be ascertained. Police officials say that preliminary investigation has yielded clues about some suspects and special police teams are conducting rapid raids at possible hideouts.
Such deadly attacks on policemen and patrol teams continuously in Bihar have raised serious questions on the security system of the state. When the khaki-wearing men who protect the general public are not safe, there is immense anger and concern among the local people about what will happen to the safety of the common citizens. Meanwhile, the family members of the injured ASI have been informed about the incident, after which there is chaos in their house and relatives. The police administration has assured the victim’s family that no criminal involved in this audacious incident will be spared and they will soon be arrested and brought to justice.
