Ara : Irate villagers blocked Ara-Mohania NH 30 near Nayaka Tola Mor under Jagdishpur police station in Bhojpur district on August 28, 2018, morning, to protest the murder of a betelshop owner Dhananjay on August 27, 2018, late evening. They burnt tyres on road and paralysed movement of vehicles. As a result, long queue of vehicles was seen on either side of the road creating problems for passengers. The protesters were raising slogans against the district administration and demanded compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the deceased family and arrest of the miscreants immediately.
The blockade was lifted after positive response from police officials. Later, police brought the body to Sadar Hospital, Ara, for post-mortem. The betelshop owner was lynched for demanding money for cold drink from a former mukhia. A named FIR has been lodged with Jagdishpur police station but no arrest has so far been made in this regard.
