On August 1, 2026, the Executive Officer of Dalmianagar Municipal Council, Vimal Kumar, met a violent end in a deserted area of Aurangabad district. While the police have apprehended his driver, Vimal's wife has accused a Lok Janshakti Party (Ram-Vilas) MLA, Rajiv Ranjan Singh, known as Sonu Singh, of involvement in the murder. Vimal was on his way to Patna when the attack occurred.
He was promptly taken to Narayan Medical College and Hospital in Jamuhar, where he succumbed to his injuries. The driver, Mithilesh Kumar, has confessed to his role in the crime. Aurangabad Police released a statement confirming the arrest and revealing the recovered murder weapon, an iron lever pipe. Magadh Range Inspector-General Vikas Vaibhav visited the crime scene and endorsed the driver's arrest.
The investigation is ongoing, and the Aurangabad Police are working in tandem with Rohtas Police. Vimal, a father of two minor children, Babita Kumari and Vivan, 5, is mourned by his grieving family, who gathered at his apartment in Patna. The MLA's wife has alleged that Sonu Singh would daily demand exorbitant sums of money from her husband, pressuring him to visit his residence.
