Police said the motive behind Khatri’s brazen murder is being investigated and the suspects are being identified.

Locals stage protest

Meanwhile, the Khatri’s killing sparked protests in the area as irate locals placed the victim’s body in the middle of the road, demanding swift justice in the case. However, senior police officials arrived at the scene and pacified the protesters and sent Khatri’s body for post-mortem.

Giving details, a senior official said the cops received information about the incident around 7 AM stating that a man had been shot near Rambagh Chowk. “A police team arrived at the spot and found Khatri with a bullet injury to the head. He had died on the spot,” said Mithanpura Police Station SHO.

The officer said the bike-borne assailants fired two bullets at the victim, one of which hit him in the head, resulting in his on-spot death.

Afroz Khatri owned a meat shop at Masjid Chowk, he said.

The killing triggered protests in the area as locals blocked the road and placed Khatri’s body in the street. However, it was soon brought under control, the officer said, adding that further investigations are ongoing.

‘Jungle Raj’

Khatri’s killing comes days after a local All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Siwan. On late Saturday night, (December 23) AIMIM district President Arif Jamal was shot and killed by three bike-borne gunmen at his shop. Jamal was rushed to a hospital but died during treatment.

The Nitish Kumar dispensation has drawn flak for the slew of brutal murders with Opposition parties dubbing it as the return of “jungle raj” (lawlessness) in the state under the RJD-JDU-Congress Mahagathbandhan alliance.
