In a shocking incident, Dularchand Yadav, a close associate of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, was shot dead during election campaigning in Mokama, Bihar. The daylight attack has triggered widespread condemnation and raised serious concerns about law and order ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
How the Attack Unfolded
Eyewitnesses report that unidentified assailants opened fire on Yadav near the Parbatta police station area while he was campaigning for RJD candidates. Despite being rushed to a hospital, Yadav succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds en route. Police suspect political rivalry or personal vendetta behind the killing, but no group has claimed responsibility.
Who Was Dularchand Yadav?
A trusted RJD strategist, Yadav was instrumental in mobilizing support in Mokama—a politically volatile region. His assassination has left the party reeling, with senior leaders calling it a “cowardly act of violence.”
Political Backlash: Leaders Demand Justice
