The district general secretary of BJP’s youth wing, Abhijit Singh Rajput, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the back of his head inside a locked house in Saharsa, Bihar.
Saharsa police on Friday recovered the blood‑stained body of Abhijit Singh Rajput, the district general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s youth wing, from a sealed residence in the city. The victim, also known as “Raja,” was identified by his party affiliation and local reports.
According to officials, the house where the body was discovered was locked from the inside, suggesting the murder took place while the premises were sealed. The corpse showed a single entry wound to the back of the head, indicating a close‑range shot.
The investigation has been handed over to a forensic science laboratory (FSL) team, which is conducting a post‑mortem and collecting evidence from the scene. Police have not disclosed any motive or suspect at this stage but have appealed to the public for information that could aid the probe.
Authorities said they are treating the case as a serious criminal offence and will pursue all leads to bring the perpetrator to justice.
