Patna Crime News: A sensational murder has been uncovered in Patna, the capital of Bihar. On Monday (August 18, 2025), the body of 30-year-old Mohammad Shahzad, an e-rickshaw driver, was recovered near the Fatehpur dam in the Didarganj police station area.

Summoned on the Pretext of a Birthday Party and Murdered
The police investigation revealed that the deceased Mohammad Shahzad, an e-rickshaw driver by profession, was involved with the sister of two real brothers residing in Hajiganj. The two brothers – Sumit Kumar and Sujit Kumar – objected to this relationship. Hurt by the taunts of the neighborhood and relatives, they conspired with their three friends to murder Shahzad.
According to the plan, the accused booked Shahzad's e-rickshaw for a supposed birthday party. At night, he was lured to the Fatehpur dam, where he was murdered with sharp weapons. A chisel, wrench, and other weapons were recovered from the scene by the police.
A Love Affair Became the Reason for Murder

Troubled by the taunts and social pressure, the two brothers decided to end the relationship. Ultimately, with the help of friends, Shahzad was murdered. According to the police, this case is clearly one of honor killing.
