Retired soldier's rampage in Bihar, opens fire on neighbor and son

A retired soldier in Bihar's Vaishali district opened fire on a neighbor and his son over a money dispute, but luckily they escaped injury.

In a shocking incident from Vaishali district in Bihar, a retired soldier named Brijesh Kumar Singh allegedly attacked his neighbor and his son over a longstanding financial dispute. Reports indicate that Singh had borrowed money from the victim's father five years ago, which he later repaid, yet he continued to demand an additional four lakh rupees from them. The conflict escalated when Singh, along with his brothers, confronted the victim's family, leading to a verbal altercation that quickly turned violent.

Witnesses report that Singh brandished a firearm and fired 3 to 4 rounds at the family, although fortunately, the father-son duo managed to escape unharmed. The situation took a turn for the worse as Singh and his brothers allegedly broke into the victimโ€™s home, where they physically assaulted the family members and attempted to rob them, adding to the severity of the crime. This incident highlights the potential for violence stemming from financial disputes, particularly in rural areas where such tensions can escalate.

Upon receiving a distress call, the local police quickly responded to the scene and apprehended both Brijesh Singh and one of his brothers. This swift action by the police underscores the seriousness with which they are treating the incident, as they seek to tackle similar cases of violence that often disturb the peace in communities. The ongoing investigation will determine the full extent of charges to be filed against the accused, but the community is left shaken by this dangerous encounter.
