A shocking incident has emerged from Bhojpur district in Bihar, where a 24-year-old young man was brutally murdered while on his way to attend his sister's wedding. The tragedy struck just before the wedding ceremony, leaving the family in mourning. The victim, identified as Raj Singh, was riding his Bullet motorcycle when he was ambushed and shot by armed assailants.

The incident took place near the Karnamepur Bus Stand in the Karnamepur police station area. Raj Singh, a resident of Ishwarpura village, was heading to a wedding venue in Bihiya Bazaar with his uncle, Nagendra Singh, to attend his sister Kimmi Kumari's wedding.

Nagendra Singh, the victim’s uncle, revealed that the attackers were identified as Saket Kumar and three others, though he could not ascertain the exact motive behind the killing.
