Following the encounter, the body of Vikas has been transferred to Nalanda Medical College in Patna for a post-mortem examination.

JD(U) leader Rajeev Ranjan commented on the situation, stating that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is closely monitoring the investigation. Ranjan mentioned that, according to information received, the suspect had attempted to attack the police. Gopal Khemka was murdered on the night of July 4th near his residence in Patna. He was shot near the Gandhi Maidan South area and declared dead at the scene. Khemka, a prominent businessman and owner of Magadh Hospital, was reportedly associated with various social organizations. In 2018, Khemka’s son, Gunjan, was also murdered.

Police have secured the crime scene, collecting a bullet and shell casing as evidence. Khemka, a resident of the Twin Tower society, was targeted by an unidentified assailant while returning home. Authorities are currently reviewing CCTV footage to identify the perpetrator. The motive behind the murder remains under investigation.

Khemka was the owner of Magadh Hospital and reportedly involved with numerous social organizations. Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from Purnea, has strongly criticized the Nitish Kumar-led government following Khemka’s death, highlighting the growing crime rate in Bihar. Yadav, who visited the scene, expressed his dismay on social media, pointing out the earlier murder of Khemka’s son and the lack of justice.
