In a shocking incident from the Katihar district of Bihar, a son is accused of hiring contract killers to murder his own father. The plot was foiled when police apprehended the son and three contract killers before they could carry out the assassination. The son, Firoz Ansari, was reportedly angered after his father disinherited him following his love marriage. Police investigations revealed that Ansari had agreed to pay the contract killers, identified as Shubham Kumar, Sajid Ansari, and Azam Ansari, a sum of 10 lakh rupees for the hit. The police acted on intelligence suggesting that the killing was planned around the time of the Dussehra festival. Authorities seized a country-made pistol, a katta (a type of improvised firearm), and five live cartridges from the arrested individuals. A written agreement between the son and the contract killers, detailing the payment and other aspects of the murder, was also discovered by the police. The investigation is ongoing to determine if others were involved in the conspiracy.
