Three days after the murder of former mayor of Muzaffarpur Sameer Kumar, no major progress has been made by police in the case.

Kumar, former mayor of Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation, was shot dead on Sunday by unidentified assailants who fired at least 20 rounds at him from an AK-47 gun. The driver of the former mayor was also killed in the attack.

Sushil Modi’s statement:

Deputy CM of Bihar Sushil Modi requested the criminals to not perpetrate crimes during the religiously significant month of 'Pitru Paksh'.

Addressing a gathering on the inauguration of the world famous Pitru Paksh mela, Sushil Modi urged the criminals to shun violence during the 15 days of the festival. He said: “Do not indulge in activities that would bring a bad name to the reputation of Bihar and Gaya during these 15 days, because if you do, you won’t be able to escape the CCTV cameras covering the entire place.”
