In separate incidents, disagreements escalated into violence and concluded in murder, in two districts of Bihar.
Four persons, three of them travellers from Jharkhand, were killed in Bihar’s Aurangabad district on Monday after a dispute over car parking escalated into violence.
“The incident occurred after the driver stopped by, parking the vehicle in front of a local shop. All five people inside the car were drunk and the driver wanted to park the car. The shopkeeper objected, leading to a heated exchange. One of the occupants of the car pulled out a gun and fired a shot which hit a bystander,” Aurangabad District Magistrate Shrikant Shastri told The Hindu.
