A shocking incident in Saharsa district has left the BJP Yuva Morcha reeling after its district general secretary, Abhijeet Singh Rajput, was discovered shot dead inside his Gautam Nagar residence. Police on Friday confirmed that the preliminary investigation strongly indicates a murder, not a suicide, as the victim was shot in the head at close range. The assailants reportedly fled the scene through a rear door, with evidence suggesting they used a chair to scale the boundary wall.
Abhijeet Singh Rajput, 26, who lived alone, was appointed to his position on August 24, 2026. Investigators are now delving into his past criminal record, which includes several registered cases, as well as his personal contacts and recent activities. The discovery was made by a friend who, after failing to contact Rajput since Wednesday night, visited his locked house on Friday and alerted authorities.
Forensic teams have meticulously examined the scene, collecting crucial scientific evidence. Local residents reported seeing Rajput on Wednesday, but he was not seen again until the discovery of his body. Family members suspect someone known to Rajput might be involved, given the intimate location of the crime within his home.
