The tragic incident was confirmed by Darbhanga Senior Superintendent of Police Jaggunath Reddy.

The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police, handling the investigation, has identified Sikandar Yadvendu, employed as a junior engineer in the municipal committee of Danapur, as the central figure in the NEET question paper leak.

According to sources, the assailants targeted the victim, identified as Raja Shah from Bihar, in a close-range firing in the Bijbehera locality of Anantnag.

Expressing his disappointment, Nitish Kumar stated, “I was not against anyone and had given respect to them but I was in pain when I learnt that they were earning money. Even though the BJP, which was with us, had never done any kind of mischief, they (RJD) kept all leaders at one place and offered lakhs of rupees to move legislators here and there. Now, I will initiate investigation about how they could obtain money.”

Gandhi's visit to Bihar follows closely on the heels of a significant development where former ally Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, rejoined the BJP-led NDA, leaving the Congress in a challenging position.

The number game in Bihar is crucial, as the Assembly Speaker is expected to ask Nitish to prove his majority in the House.
