Police say that contract killers were paid Rs 4 lakh to kill Khemka due to a dispute over land.
In a shocking turn of events, Bihar Police announced on Tuesday that they have successfully solved the murder case of prominent businessman Gopal Khemka. It was revealed that a property dispute was the main motive behind the brutal killing that took place outside his home. The police have made two arrests in connection with this case - the shooter, Umesh Yadav, and the mastermind, Ashok Sahu. In another development, an associate of Umesh, named Vikas, was killed in an encounter with the police this morning in the Malsalami area.

At a press conference held in Patna, Bihar DGP Vinay Kumar shared the details of the investigation. He informed the media that a special investigation team, along with the STF, worked together to uncover the conspiracy behind Gopal Khemka's murder. According to the top cop, this was a planned contract killing, where Umesh Yadav was offered Rs 4 lakh to carry out the heinous act.

Further, DGP Vinay Kumar disclosed that Umesh had received an advance payment of Rs 50,000 and the remaining amount was given to him by Ashok Sahu, the mastermind, on the next day of the incident. During the interrogation, the police recovered 56 live cartridges, a 9 mm pistol, two magazines, and 14 bullets from a room on the first floor of Umesh's house. The weapon used to kill Gopal Khemka was also retrieved, along with the motorcycle that was used in the crime.

Upon searching Umesh's house, the police found incriminating evidence, including a helmet and mask that were used by the killer to conceal their identity. It was also revealed that Ashok Sahu and Umesh had known each other for about 1.5 years, having first met at a marriage ceremony. The police suspect that Gopal Khemka's altercations with Ashok Sahu, who was also a businessman, led to the latter's decision to plan his murder.

In fact, DGP Vinay Kumar stated that Ashok Sahu had previously attempted to hire a shooter to kill Gopal Khemka but failed in his conspiracy. Upon further interrogation, Ashok Sahu confessed to the crime and revealed that the motive behind the murder was a rivalry over property and a dispute over the Bankipur club. Gopal Khemka, the owner of Magadh Hospital, was shot dead on July 4th near an apartment close to his residence, Panache Hotel, in the posh Gandhi Maidan area.

The entire state was left in shock and disbelief over the gruesome murder of such a prominent figure. However, with the swift and efficient work of the Bihar Police, the masterminds behind this heinous act have been brought to justice. The police have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted to ensure that the guilty are punished accordingly. The people of Bihar can finally find some closure as the truth behind Gopal Khemka's murder has been revealed.
