Brilliant and poor students have to suffer
The Harshraj murder case has created a sensation in the entire area. The family members are inconsolable. After the violent incident in Patna University, the university administration and the police administration took action several times and the hostel was vacated several times. But, despite all this, it had no effect on the anti-social elements living in the hostel and the brilliant and poor students continued to suffer. When asked several times, the Patna University administration blames the Patna Police for maintaining law and order.
Was a well-planned conspiracy hatched?
Patna police has been claiming that the university administration is responsible for the internal arrangements in the university. It is being said that Harsh Raj’s murder was done in a planned manner. The killers did a recce of the student. They knew that Harsh was going to the law college in Sultanganj police station area to give the exam on Monday. The attackers reached there sometime before the exam was over. Some criminals were standing near the student’s Bullet. They knew that Harsh would come to take the Bullet. The killers were not standing together but were lying in wait at different places.
It is being told that as soon as Harsh came near his bullet, all the attackers gathered at one place. After this, they kept on beating the student mercilessly. Even after Harsh became unconscious, the attackers attacked him on his head and other serious parts of the body, due to which the student lost his life. However, the police has arrested one accused Chandan Yadav in this case who had acted as a liner. But, still arresting all the criminals is no less than a big challenge for Patna Police.
