PATNA: Three unidentified criminals stabbed property dealer Vinay Krishna, 50, with an iron rod when he resisted their bid to snatch his bike and other valuables in the city on Friday night. Vinay, also an active BJP worker, died during treatment around 5am on Saturday.
The incident took place in front of SL Misser petrol pump on Bypass road near Begumpur under Bypass police station around 9.30pm when he was returning home from a housewarming party. Showing courage despite being injured, Vinay had chased the criminals and rang up his friend Ranjeet Kumar for help. He narrated the incident to his family members in the hospital.
One of his family friends said besides being associated with BJP for several years, Vinay was an affluent person and property dealer having several acres of land in his name in Begumpur and surrounding areas. His family friend said Vinay had gone to attend a housewarming party of a person from where he had to meet Ranjeet, who owns a warehouse alongside the Bypass road.
“Vinay was hardly 50 metres away from the warehouse when three youths standing on the roadside stopped him and tried to loot his bike and other valuables. However, Vinay resisted the loot attempt,” he said.
He said one of the youths was having a piece of iron road used in building construction. “He stabbed Vinay in the abdomen with that rusted rod. All three fled on foot. Vinay gave them a chase and rang up Ranjeet, who reached there immediately,” he said.
Bypass police station SHO Sanjeet Sinha said efforts were on to identify the killers. “They are suspected to be local criminals,” he said.
