For Future-Ready Manpower

A Ballia man, Raj Singh, once a social media 'social worker' and Kshatriya leader, is now a key suspect in the sensational murder of Chandranath Rath, aide to West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari. Police believe Singh was a sharpshooter in the meticulously planned ambush. His family claims he was in Uttar Pradesh attending weddings and religious visits during the incident.

A 35-year-old Shikshamitra, Yogendra Saroj, tragically died by suicide in Bahlolpur village, Uttar Pradesh, after shooting himself at his residence. Rushed to a medical college, doctors pronounced him dead. Family members reported he was under significant mental stress for days, though the cause remains unknown. Police are investigating the incident, which appears to be linked to distress.

A woman, identified as Babli Kushwaha, was discovered deceased in a pool of blood at her residence in Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh. Police have detained her husband, Sushil Kushwaha, and his sister-in-law, Chandrakali, for questioning. The investigation is ongoing, with the body sent for post-mortem to determine the exact cause of death.

The mother of alleged sharpshooter Raj Singh claims her son was in Lucknow and Ayodhya with family during the murder of Suvendu Adhikari's PA. She stated they attended a wedding in Lucknow on May 7, visited shrines in Ambedkar Nagar and Ayodhya, and were intercepted by police.

Raj Singh, arrested in a murder case, made inflammatory remarks in a viral video. He spoke of alleged Hindu persecution in West Bengal. Singh warned of aggressive violence if any harm came to a victim's family. The video surfaced amid political tension following his detention. Police have not commented on the video's authenticity.
