Ram Kripal Singh, 45, a former mukhiya of Birpur East panchayat in Begusarai district, was taking his 18-year-old daughter to her intermediate examination centre on Wednesday morning on his motorbike, when he was accosted by bike-borne criminals and shot twice in the chest. Such is a father’s love, that despite his condition, he rode for at least 7km and first dropped her off to the examination centre before getting himself admitted to a private hospital.
“My father was taking me to the examination centre near Begusarai railway station, when six assailants on two motorbikes intercepted us. They first tried to tie his hands. When I protested, the attackers pumped two bullets into his chest from a very close range and fled,” Singh’s daughter Damini said. “I asked him to stop and wait for some help, but my father continued riding with the gunshot injuries for another 7km to drop me off at the examination centre before getting himself hospitalized,” she added. Begusarai SP Awakash Kumar said, “The victim is under treatment and not in a condition to talk. Once he regains consciousness, we will record his statement.” He added, “As per preliminary investigation, the attack may have been the fallout of some previous enmity. We have identified a few suspects and are carrying out raids to arrest them.”
