Senior advocate Rajiv Singh killed in broad daylight, attackers caught on camera as police investigate possible motives.
April 11, 2026: A shocking daylight murder in Mirzapur has triggered panic after senior advocate Rajiv Singh was shot dead during his morning walk on Saturday. The incident, captured on CCTV in the Katwaru Ka Pura locality, shows two assailants arriving on a motorcycle before one of them opened fire using a country-made pistol, killing the 45-year-old on the spot. The brazen attack has raised serious concerns over law and order in the region.
The CCTV footage also reveals a dramatic moment when the attackers’ escape was briefly disrupted as their motorcycle failed to start. As they struggled to restart the vehicle, a few locals cautiously approached but backed off when one of the assailants threatened them with a firearm. After several tense seconds, the bike started, allowing the attackers to flee. Investigators are now closely analyzing the footage to identify the suspects and track their movements.
Police officials confirmed that Singh had earlier expressed fear for his life and had reportedly survived two previous attacks. He had even submitted a formal complaint warning of potential threats. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation, examining both professional and personal angles behind the हत्या. While the motive remains unclear, police say efforts are underway to ensure the accused are identified and brought to justice at the earliest.
