The assailants opened fire at Pramod on Shankar Saraiya-Parsauna road where he was waiting for his wife . The victim was rushed to a Motihari hospital soon after, where he was decla-red dead.

DSP sadar Pankaj Rawat confirmed the incident and said besides conducting raids, police have also seized the cellphone of Neelam Kumari, apprehending foul play.
