Ara Deputy Mayor , Basant Singh, was shot at on Thursday when he was returning home after a morning stroll. Singh sustained bullet injuries, but he is said to be out of danger.

He was rushed to a local hospital which, in turn, referred him to Patna Medical College and Hospital. “When I was returning from morning walk, two unidentified youths on motorcycle intercepted me and fired at me. Initially, I could not make out that I have been shot. Only when blood started oozing out and I felt the pain, I realised the youths have shot at me,” said Singh. 

The deputy mayor is also into transport business and the police feel the shootout could be fallout of business rivalry.
