Begusarai shooting: police releases photos of suspects, announces reward of Rs 50,000

Begusarai police have released photographs of suspects and announced a bounty of Rs 50,000 after four gunmen went on a rampage in the district, killing a man and critically injuring 11 people on Tuesday night.

Earlier, district police officers had claimed that two bike-borne assailants were involved in the incident.

Seven police personnel in Bihar's Begusarai have also been suspended for dereliction of duty.

The gunmen had first opened fire at Malhipur Chowk in the town, targeting shops in the busy area. Panicked people started running for their lives, while shopkeepers fled leaving their shops open. The miscreants then went to Barauni Thermal Chowk, Barauni, Teghra, Bachwara, and Rajendra Bridge, and continued firing at people.
