Kumar Rajiv Nayan
Ara : The family members, relatives and acquaintances of slain Ara businessman Krishna Kumar Singh alias Krishna Ji on August 3, 2017, gave a call for Bhojpur bandh on August 5, 2017, to seek immediate arrest of five named accused of the murder case case if the state government fails to recommend for a CBI inquiry into it within two days. They also demanded Call Detail Record (CDR) of the named accused which will reveal their connection with their political and administrative bosses.
Krishna Kumar Singh alias Kumar Ji was shot dead on July 2, 2017 in Padav locality near Model Institute under Town police station while on way to his house about 11am and a named FIR was lodged with Town police station, Ara, against 10 persons including Munnu Singh, son of Deputy Mayor, Ara Municipal Corporation (AMC) Malti Devi, former Bhojpur district president, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Indrabhan Singh, notorious criminal Chand Mian, his brother Nayeem Mian and HAM(S) leader Danish Rizwan. Five named accused are still at large.
Dilip Singh, nephew of the deceased, said that the murder of Kumar Ji was an outcome of well planned conspiracy of land mafias and anti-social elements and had the district administration been alert Kumar Ji would not have been killed. He alleged that the district administration is still reluctant to arrest the culprits and allowing them surrendering before the court. He alleged that said those who surrendered are in touch with their mentors on mobile from inside the jail.
Dilip said that the police had recommended for enforcment of section 144 Cr PC on their Bhaluhipur land on January 4,2017. The land mafias tried illegal construction on the land but the people of the area foiled their. The district administration, however, did not take it seriously and at last Kumar Ji was killed. He further said that a letter was sent to CM Nitish Kumar naming Danish Rizwan, his brothers: Md Ashraf, Saheed Zamaal, the then CO, Ara, Shekhar and the then SHO, Ara police station, S K Shahi, in this connection but to no avail.
