Staff correspondent, August 6, 2015
A Patna BJP leader Avinash Kumar was shot dead on Thursday by three gunmen, who were caught on CCTV while escaping.
Avinash Kumar was out for a morning walk near Daldali Road when he was shot dead at about 7 am. The CCTV camera at a nearby temple was an eyewitness to the ghastly crime.
The shocking video footage shows the three gunmen chasing Avinash Kumar on foot. As they shoot him, he falls on the road. One of the assailants walks up to him and shoots Avinash Kumar in the head.
The CCTV footage then shows all the attackers fleeing safely after killing the BJP leader.
The police said it was too early to ascribe any motive for the killing and are carrying out raids all over Patna to nab the killers.
The murder of Avinash Kumar sparked quick protests and BJP workers of the area came out and burnt tyres to block roads.
BJP MLAs stalled the Assembly and have given a two-day deadline for the Police to nab the killers.
