Woman cop shot at by kin over loan row
Patna: A woman constable was allegedly shot at by a male colleague, who is also her relative, over a monetary dispute in the Kudra police station area of Kaimur district early on Sunday morning.
The incident took place around 4.30am while she was on her way to Kudra railway station with her husband to catch a train to Supaul where she was due for duty.
According to police, the victim was identified as 28-year-old Sarita Kumari, wife of Munshi Kumar Suman. Two bike-borne assailants shot her from behind, seriously injuring her just before she reached the railway station.
She was initially taken to Bhabua Sadar Hospital for treatment but was later referred to a higher medical facility in Varanasi.
Sarita resided in a rented house in Kudra with her husband, though her native village is Bhitari Bandh under Karamchat police station.
Mohania SDPO Pradeep Kumar said, "An FIR has been lodged on the statements of the victim's family against constable Ajay Paswan. Both are relatives and residents of Kaimur, but were posted at different police stations in Supaul. They were on leave in their hometown."
The SDPO said the attack appeared to be linked to a financial dispute.

"According to the complaint, the incident is related to a money lending dispute. Sarita had given a loan of Rs 65,000 to Ajay some months ago. Now she was asking for the return of the amount. But Ajay was frequently making excuses in returning the money, leading to a dispute between the two cops," he said.
Dr Shahil Raj of Bhabua Sadar Hospital said, "A woman cop was brought in with a gunshot wound. The bullet is still lodged in her back as no exit wound was found on the front side of her body. The case was serious, so she has been referred to Varanasi."
Sarita is currently being treated at a Varanasi hospital. "Raids are being carried out to nab Ajay," the SDPO added.
