Fatal Shootings in Patna and Hajipur Linked to Feuds Trigger Police Crackdown

Investigators are pursuing arrests and awaiting forensic results to pin down motive in both cases.

Overview

  • In Hajipur’s Chauhatta locality, Gudiya Devi was found outside her home with a gunshot injury and was declared dead at a hospital.
  • Police there detained two suspects, sent the body for post-mortem, and said the husband’s account has been inconsistent as they examine whether an old quarrel or a broader conspiracy was involved.
  • Officers linked a heated dispute over spilled water two days earlier to the Hajipur probe, and forensic teams gathered evidence from the scene.
  • In Rasulpur, Fatuha (Patna), a long-running family land dispute escalated around 7:30 am when a nephew allegedly opened fire, killing his aunt and a passerby and injuring another relative.
  • Authorities recovered two country-made pistols, a sword and a motorcycle, formed a special team under the Fatuha SDPO, and launched raids to arrest the accused.
