Bhojpur Police Arrest Two in Ara Youth Murder Case
Imagine a young man named Birju was shot and killed in a town called Ara.
The police have caught two people they think did it, but are still looking for four more.
Birju's older brother had a problem with some other people, and it looks like they were after him, but they killed Birju instead.
It seems like Birju may have been targeted because he was against illegal alcohol sales in the area, and had even been threatened about it a few months before.
Bhojpur police arrested two individuals in connection with the murder of Birju Ram in Ara.
The victim, 18-year-old Birju Ram, was shot dead on Sunday morning in Ambedkar Colony.
The police are conducting raids to apprehend the remaining four accused.
Birju Ram was shot by three armed miscreants due to an old enmity with his elder brother.
The father of the deceased stated that his son had been threatened for opposing illicit liquor smuggling.
