Samastipur superintendent of police (SP) Vinay Tiwari said Nand Kishor Yadav, the Mohanpur police outpost SHO who was leading the operation, sustained a bullet injury to his head and is being treated at a private hospital in Begusarai. Yadav later succumbed to his injuries, the district police announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Tiwari said the police had caught an alleged member of a gang of cattle smugglers who revealed information about the movements of the gang. A police team led by Nand Kishor Singh acted on the information and went to a location near the gas godown in the Shahbazpur area.

“As soon as the SHO got off the vehicle, the criminals fired at him. A bullet hit him on the face above his eye,” Tiwari said.
