Ara (Bihar), June 1: A day-long curfew was clamped here on Friday as tension escalated following the gunning down of Brahmeshwar Singh, chief of now-defunct private militia Ranvir Sena.

"We have imposed a day-long curfew on Ara town," Sub-divisional officer Dharmesh Kumar said, adding, that the situation was tense, but under control.

Prohibitory orders under section 144 CrPC were also enforced in the district after the killing of Singh alias Mukhiyaji.

Brahmeshwar Singh was on a morning walk when he was accosted by gunmen who pumped several bullets into him, killing him on the spot at Katira Mohalla under Nawada police station, 71 kms from Patna.

Singh, who was earlier facing life imprisonment in various carnage cases, was acquitted and recently released from jail. He was the former mukhiya of Khopira panchayat of the Sandesh block of Bhojpur district and assumed leadership of the then Ranvir Kisan Sangharsh Samiti from the then mukhiya of Belaur block, Sheo Narain Choudhary, in 1994. In fact, under Choudhary's leadership, the samiti was not in a position to counter the move of CPI (ML)'s decision to impose economic ban on farmers in several villages of Bhojpur district. Brahmeshwar finally turned the samiti into a militant organisation which finally became Ranvir Sena.

On July 25, 1995, the Ranvir Sena killed six people belonging to Musahar caste in Sarathua village, located near the Belaur village, the Sena headquarters. But Singh came into limelight after the infamous carnage at Bathani Tola under the Sahar block of Bhojpur district on July 10, 1996, in which the victims were mostly children and women.

This was followed by a series of massacres in different villages of Bhojpur district. Four people were killed by Sena at Chandi village in February, three in Patalpura in March and five in Nanaur in April month of the same year. The spreading activities of the Sena finally forced the state government to ban it in August 1995.

May 11,2020

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
