Two motorcycle-borne assailants shot dead Singh (40) when he was inside his SUV waiting for the gates of his residence in the town of Punaichak to open after returning from office on Tuesday evening.
‘Murder has sparked public uproar’
The DGP also told the CM that to crack the case, a SIT was developed.
Rajesh Singh Prabhakar, who is part of the SIT formed by the zonal IG for cracking the case, told the media Deputy SP (Sachivalaya) that they have some “vital clues” and are sure that the suspects will be arrested soon.
The opposition launched a scathing attack on the state government over the high-profile assassination of RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav, calling for the resignation of Kumar if he were to resign.
‘Nitish Kumar will not manage law and order, he can withdraw’
National Congress Secretary General Tariq Anwar has also criticized the CM, saying that the incident is sufficient evidence that he has lost control of law and order.
BJP Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Thakur said that if the police fail to resolve it within five days, the state government must hand the case over to the CBI.
