Patna, Nov 1 (IANS) A new twist has emerged in the high-profile Dularchand Yadav murder case in Mokama as one of the doctors who conducted the post-mortem has said that Yadav died not due to bullet injury but due to internal trauma.
A three-member medical board was formed to conduct the post-mortem, in which Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh was also included. According to Dr. Singh, the investigation revealed several wounds on Yadav’s body as well as serious internal injuries. “The nature of the injuries clearly suggests that death was caused by internal trauma,” he said.
Dr. Singh said that the bullet hit Yadav near the joint in his left leg and passed through it.
The doctor said, “The gunshot wound is not of a fatal nature. It is a superficial injury, while the internal damage indicates that death was caused by internal impact rather than by the bullet.”
Doctors also confirmed that such a gunshot, as observed, was not capable of causing death. Before post-mortem, X-ray examination of the body was done. The panel will now prepare a final report after considering all the evidence.
The incident occurred during an election campaign when Jan Suraj candidate Piyush Priyadarshi was campaigning with his supporters.
A group of people allegedly attacked the convoy with sticks and suddenly someone opened fire, injuring Dularchand Yada, who later died.
Police has started the investigation of the matter.
Patna Rural SP Vikram Sihag said that three FIRs have been registered in connection with the recent incidents of stone pelting and fighting.
After post-mortem, the body was handed over to the family and police have been deployed at the spot to maintain law and order.
The grandson of the deceased has identified five accused, while another complaint has named six others. Initial reports suggested bullet marks on Yadav’s body.
Dularchand, once considered a close aide of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, played a key role in strengthening the party’s grassroots network and contacts in the 1990s.
However, in recent years, he switched his allegiance to the Jan Suraj movement and developed close relations with Piyush Priyadarshi.
According to local residents, Yadav was a well-known figure in the Tall area of Mokama and was respected for his social work and political influence.
Police sources indicated that the clash possibly stemmed from old rivalries and power struggles during the election campaign.
