Sampadak Express reports a shocking murder in Patna. Businessman and BJP leader Gopal Khemka was shot dead Friday night.
The attack happened near Gandhi Maidan, close to the Twin Tower residential complex, around 11:40 PM. Khemka was returning home.
Bike-borne assailants fired at him as he stepped out of his car. He died instantly from a close-range gunshot.
Police recovered one bullet and a shell casing. Forensic teams collected evidence and began analyzing CCTV footage for leads.
Premeditated Attack in Patna’s Heart
Sampadak Express confirms the killers waited near his residence. They struck with precision and escaped before police arrived.
Khemka’s brother alleged police reached the scene three hours late. The delay sparked criticism and public anger.
A Family Haunted by Violence
This tragedy mirrors the 2018 murder of Gunjan Khemka, Gopal’s son. He was shot outside his cotton factory in Hajipur.
Gunjan sat inside his car when attackers fired multiple bullets. He died instantly. The case remains unresolved.
Sampadak Express notes Gopal withdrew from politics after his son’s death. He focused on expanding his business empire.
Legacy of a Business Icon
Gopal Khemka owned Magadh Hospital, one of Bihar’s oldest private hospitals. He also served as Director of Bankipore Club.
His ventures included pharmaceuticals, real estate, and manufacturing. He started with a small medical store called Aushadhi Medico.
Sampadak Express highlights his rise as a respected figure in Patna’s business community.
Law and Order Under Fire
Public outrage is growing across Bihar. Sampadak Express reports criticism of the Nitish Kumar government’s failure to ensure safety.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) now leads the probe. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses.
Opposition leaders demand accountability. They say Bihar’s law and order has collapsed ahead of the upcoming elections.
