In the aftermath of the violence in Bahraich, a sense of tension has taken over. The Maharajganj area of Mahsi has turned into a fortress. Amidst this, an image of the person who shot Ramgopal Mishra during the violence has emerged. The person is seen with a gun in the picture. It is said that this individual was present at Abdul Hamid's house, where Ramgopal was tragically killed.
This image is rapidly going viral on social media, yet no official statement has been released on it so far. However, it is being widely discussed. The picture is reportedly taken during the time when the injured Ramgopal was being brought down from the roof by his companions. Currently, the police are deep into their investigation.
Notably, the brutality faced by Ramgopal during the Bahraich violence was beyond limits. Before pulling the trigger, the assailants physically assaulted Ramgopal, even attacking him with sharp weapons. Marks of around 35 pellets were found on Ramgopal's face, neck, forehead, and chest.
The postmortem report cites electrocution and hemorrhage as the cause of death for 22-year-old Ramgopal Mishra. Moreover, his toenails were forcibly removed, and he was subjected to electric shocks. There was a deep wound near his eyes, caused by something sharp.

The Spark of Violence in Bahraich
Incidentally, Ramgopal Mishra, a resident of Rehua Mansoor village in the Hardi area of Bahraich, was part of a Durga idol immersion procession around 6 PM last Sunday. As the procession made its way through a community's locality in Maharajganj market, an argument ensued between two groups. Allegedly, stones were pelted from rooftops, causing panic during the immersion.

During this, Ramgopal was taken to a house and murdered. This house is said to belong to Abdul Hamid, where a viral picture shows a person holding a gun standing.
Following the news of Ramgopal's death, chaos erupted in Maharajganj. Furious protesters vandalized the accused's house and several vehicles, setting them ablaze. Later, on Monday, when the deceased's body reached the village, the crowd became uncontrollably angry. During this time, several homes, nursing homes, bike showrooms, and shops in the Maharajganj area faced arson and vandalism. Meanwhile, police deployed tear gas to control the unruly crowd.
Seeing the situation worsen, internet services across the district were suspended. PAC and RAF forces were deployed on the roads, and even the STF Chief was seen on the streets with a pistol. Three days post-incident, the Maharajganj area in Mahsi remains tense.
