Patna (Bihar) [India], July 12 (ANI): Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Saturday expressed concern over the law and order situation in Bihar and considered it to be a 'matter of sorrow'.

The Congress leader noted that no one can be satisfied by seeing murders or looting and asserted that it is a 'matter of concern' for everyone. He emphasised that the public should hold the government accountable by reporting any wrongdoing under their regime.

'Can anyone say anything about law and order? This is a matter of sorrow... Murders are happening, and looting is occurring. No one can be satisfied by seeing this. This is a matter of concern for everyone... It is the responsibility of those outside the government to inform the government that what is happening under them is not right', Salman Khurshid told ANI.

Days after businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead in Bihar, another man was killed in Patna's Ram Krishna Nagar area after being shot by an unidentified assailant. The victim, Vikram Jha, succumbed to his injuries while being taken to the hospital.

According to police, Jha was shot by a person who arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire. A murder case has been registered, and an investigation is underway.

Jha, originally from Darbhanga district, had been living in Patna for a year and ran a grocery store. He lived with his family on the first floor of the same building.

Speaking to the media, SP Patna East Parichay Kumar said, 'Vikram Jha, a resident under PS Ram Krishna Nagar limits, was shot at some time ago. When he was being taken to the hospital, he died. As soon as we received the information, the DSP and I arrived at the crime scene. On analysing the CCTV footage, we found that the deceased owned a grocery store, and a person came on a motorbike and shot him. There seems to be no evidence of robbery in the store.' (ANI)
