A firing incident in the Meenapur police station area of Muzaffarpur has now turned into a double murder case. Following the death of 55-year-old Deep Lal Sah on the spot last Friday night, the second victim, 70-year-old Bhola Singh, passed away on Monday morning during his treatment. Even after four days of the incident, the local police are yet to identify or arrest the shooters who carried out the attack on a scooter.
