Patna, Nov 1 (NationPress) The investigation into the murder of Dularchand Yadav in Mokama has gained momentum as the Bihar Police Crime Investigation Department (CID) has officially assumed responsibility for the case.
The inquiry is being overseen by CID DIG Jayant Kant, who personally visited the crime scene to scrutinize all aspects.
On Saturday, several police teams arrived at Basawan Chak — the location of the incident.
CID officials, alongside FSL scientists, performed a forensic analysis of the entire vicinity.
Sources indicate that several significant clues have been uncovered, which may alter the course of the investigation.
Investigators also examined the damaged vehicles linked to the incident.
Forensic evidence has been collected from these vehicles.
Authorities are analyzing the damage patterns, stone marks, and other traces to pinpoint the assailants.
During the crime scene examination in Mokama Taal, investigators discovered stones typically used on railway tracks.
Officials highlighted that such stones are not native to Mokama Taal, raising suspicions of a possible conspiracy. Samples have been dispatched to the laboratory.
According to insiders, the convoy was targeted with these very stones.
The crucial question now is — were these stones deliberately transported there beforehand? If so, this was not merely a skirmish but a calculated attack.
CID teams have interrogated villagers and eyewitnesses.
CCTV footage and mobile location data from surrounding areas are also under scrutiny.
Statements are being compiled regarding any suspicious activity before or after the event.
Dularchand Yadav was assaulted on Thursday in the Mokama Taal region while campaigning alongside Jan Suraaj candidate Piyush Priyadarshi.
His demise has escalated into a significant political issue in Bihar.
Initial reports suggested that Yadav's murder resulted from a gunshot wound. He did receive a gunshot injury to his leg, but that was not the cause of death.
The autopsy report revealed that the lethal injury was inflicted by a vehicle running over his chest, leading to multiple fractures and ruptured lungs.
The autopsy was conducted by a panel of three doctors over nearly two hours in Barh, with a magistrate present.
With the CID now directly managing the case, there is a hopeful anticipation that the investigation will soon unravel the complete conspiracy and identify those responsible.
