Patna, (Bihar Times): The secretary of the Patna Municipal Corporation, Manzar Alam, and his wife were killed by some unidentified criminals in Haroon Nagar-II colony of the state capital in the wee hours of Wednesday.
This is the second murder of a Bihar Administrative Service Association officer in a fortnight. Last month a Block Development Officer was found killed in his house in Sheikhpura town.
According to the police the criminals used iron-rod to kill Manzar Alam and his wife. The police said that apparently murder was the sole motive though some items are missing from his house.
The criminals jumped the boundary wall, broke the grille and the main door to enter the bed-room. Heavy rain facilitated them in committing the crime. The head of both the victims were brutally smashed.
The couple had three daughters, two of them are already married, while the third one was sleeping in the other room. A maid also lives in the same house.
It was only when the daughter woke up at 7:30 am that he found the bed-room of the parents locked. When she opened the door she found both of them dead.
Some local people told BiharTimes that a file was found open in the house. He had also served as the Circle Officer of Phulwarisharif a few years back.
Home secretary, Afzal Amanullah, excise secretary, Amir Subhani, Senior SP, Amit Kumar, City SP, Anwar Husain and other top officials visited the place of occurrence.
