Madhubani, Bihar, India — Police Officer Opens Fire on Villagers, Killing One and Wounding Three, Then Flees

A police officer opened fire on villagers in Balirajgarh village in the early hours of Tuesday, killing one man and wounding three others, and then fled, setting off a police hunt for one of their own. Assistant Sub-Inspector Chandramohan Singh, who was posted at a police picket in Balirajgarh, under the Babubarhi police station area, had allegedly gone to a house in the village at around 1 a.m. Villagers who spotted him there surrounded the house and locked him inside. Madhubani Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar said the officer then fired three to four rounds from his service pistol to get out, hitting four villagers. Ashok Yadav, 50, died during treatment. Dhanik Lal Yadav, Phulo Devi and Vijendra Yadav were wounded and taken to hospital, and Phulo Devi was reported to be in critical condition. Singh fled the scene and has been absconding since the firing. He has been suspended, a case of murder has been registered against him, and police have announced a reward of 25,000 rupees for information leading to his arrest, with special teams carrying out raids to find him. Anger spread through the area during the day as residents blocked a road to demand his immediate arrest. When District Magistrate Anand Sharma arrived to calm the crowd, women protesters confronted him and grabbed him by the collar before security personnel stepped in.
