In an appalling incident in Bihar, Jeetan Sahani, the father of Mukesh Sahani, leader of the Vikassheel Insaan Party and former minister, was mercilessly slain in his ancestral home in Viraul, Darbhanga. The elderly man fell to a vicious attack by unidentified assailants armed with sharp weapons, found by the locals in a gruesome condition.
Was it robbery or personal vendetta?
The senior police officials who rushed to the crime scene hinted that the initial motive appeared to be a botched robbery, but the scattered blood and dismembered limbs raised numerous questions.
An SIT has been formed by Darbhanga's SP to investigate this brutal murder, with a team led by the Rural SP and comprising three officers. Mukesh Sahani, upon learning of his father's demise, has left Mumbai for Patna.
What do the police say about the murder?
SDPO Manish Chandra Chaudhary from Viraul remarked, 'We received early morning reports that Jeetan Sahani, father of former Minister Mukesh Sahani, was killed.' He commented, 'The crime scene suggests that the intruder might have intended robbery but turned to murder upon resistance.'
Jeetan Sahani lived alone in his ancestral home
Reports indicate that Jeetan Sahani resided alone in Darbhanga after the passing of his wife. Despite requests from Mukesh Sahani to live together in Patna, the elder Sahani preferred the rural setting of his ancestral home.
