Doctors referred him to PMCH Patna because his condition was critical, but he died on the way.
“We arrived on the scene right away and began our investigation. We’re also looking through the area’s CCTV footage for any clues regarding the perpetrators. We’re waiting for the family members who have passed away to make their statements “According to a police officer.
“According to preliminary assessment, the incident may have been tied to money extortion. Praful Jain, the deceased’s father, was a well-known Arrah dealer. His son, Samir Jain, was in charge of the business due to his father’s advanced age “he said.
