Targeted firing of public service center owner; 3 rounds of shooting... then attack with sharp weapons, lost life

The roar of gunfire in the middle of the night in Keonjhar. The miscreants shot the owner of the public service center and attacked him with sharp weapons. Trilochan Mahanth died under treatment after being admitted to a medical center in a critical condition. The deceased's wife is said to be a female conservative.

The incident took place near Khuntapada of Kendeepapshi area under Turumunga police station. According to information, Trilochan of Khajirapshi village was running a public service center near Kendeepashi Street. At around 11:30 PM on Monday night, while he was returning to Patna after closing the shop, the thief stopped him on the road.

According to preliminary information, about 3 rounds were fired at Trilochan. As the bullet rang in his hand, the miscreants later attacked him with sharp weapons. He was admitted to the Dharanidhar Medical Center in a bloody condition. Trilochan died while undergoing treatment.

It has been reported that three empty cartridges have been seized from the place. Police have cordoned off the spot and are collecting evidence and searching for the assailants.

On the other hand, some money has also been reported missing from the public service centre.
