20-year-old youth abducted in broad daylight in Bihar’s Supaul
When villagers tried to chase the kidnappers, they opened fire on them to create panic. The police have recovered a used cartridge from the place of the incident
A 20-year-old man was abducted in broad daylight in Bihar’s Supaul district on Monday (September 28, 2026) near the Bhimpur police station area. The attackers struck the youth from behind while he was riding a motorcycle on the State highway and forcibly dragged him into a vehicle. The abductors opened fire on villagers who attempted to chase them, causing panic.
Police found a used cartridge at the scene of the abduction. The victim, identified as Mohammad Zeeshan Khan, hailed from Madhopur Panchayat under the Chhatapur police station. Zeeshan was en route to Bhimpur when the criminal gang intercepted him. Upon learning of the incident, the police arrived at the location to investigate.
However, details regarding the motive behind the abduction and the number of perpetrators remain undisclosed. The Supaul Superintendent of Police, Sarath R.S., has formed a special task force under the Triveniganj Sub-Divisional Police Officer to locate and safely recover the youth. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav criticized the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Bihar, alleging a rise in criminal audacity following the inauguration of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
