Patna Shaken as Sand Businessman Ramakant Yadav Shot Dead—Political Firestorm Erupts over Law and Order in Bihar

Patna is reeling after the shocking daylight murder of prominent sand businessman Ramakant Yadav, who was gunned down while taking his morning walk outside his home. The brazen killing has sent shockwaves through the local business community and sparked a fierce political battle over Bihar’s crumbling law and order.

Morning Walk Turns Deadly

On Friday morning in Dhana village, under Ranitalab police station, Ramakant Yadav was out for his routine stroll in his garden. Suddenly, unidentified assailants, lying in wait, opened fire, leaving Yadav lifeless on the spot. The sound of gunshots drew family members and villagers, who rushed to the scene and immediately informed the police.

Police arrived quickly, took possession of the body, and sent it for post-mortem. Ramakant Yadav was a well-known figure in the sand trade, and initial reports suggest he may have had old disputes. However, the real motive behind the murder remains unclear, and police have launched a full-scale investigation to identify and arrest the killers.

Political Storm Hits Bihar

The brutal murder has ignited a political storm. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on social media, accusing the government of failing to maintain law and order. In a fiery post on X, Tejashwi called Bihar’s situation “anarchy under an unconscious Chief Minister,” blaming BJP ministers and leaders for being “busy looting Bihar with criminals and corrupt officials.”

A Pattern of Violence?

This is not the first time Patna’s business community has been rocked by violence. Just days earlier, businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead outside his home in a land dispute. The back-to-back murders have created an atmosphere of fear among local entrepreneurs, who now see themselves as targets in a lawless environment.

Police Under Pressure

With the killers still at large, police are under immense pressure to crack the case. The ongoing crime wave has become a major headache for law enforcement, and the business community is demanding swift action and better protection.

Will Justice Be Served?

As the investigation continues, all eyes are on the Bihar government and police. Will they be able to bring Ramakant Yadav’s killers to justice—or will this shocking murder become yet another unsolved crime in Bihar’s growing list of tragedies?
