Patna woke up to a wave of shock and fear after well-known businessman and BJP leader Gopal Khemka was shot dead near Gandhi Maidan late Thursday evening. The murder happened right outside his residence, leaving not just his family, but also the local community, reeling with grief.

Witnesses say the attacker was on a motorcycle and sped off moments after the shooting. Businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead in Patna near Gandhi Maidan, sparking grief and questions about safety as police recover a bullet shell and launch a high-level investigation into the murder.

Khemka’s son, Gunjan, had also been murdered in 2018, and this second tragedy has only deepened the family’s trauma. A 9mm bullet and shell casing were found at the scene, and the authorities wasted no time. A Special Investigation Team (SIT), along with Bihar’s CID and STF, has been formed to handle the case.

Political leaders have strongly condemned the murder. Many leaders, including Tejashwi Yadav, have criticized the state government that it has failed to ensure security, especially for traders who are constantly becoming easy targets.

The people of Patna are in shock. For shopkeepers, neighbors and ordinary citizens, this case is not just about one person, but it is a sign of the growing feeling that the next can be anyone. This murder has once again sparked a debate on the law and order situation in Bihar and the effectiveness of the security system.

Now everyone keeps eye on police, it is expected that justice will be fast and meaningful - not only for the family of Gopal Khemka, but for the whole community which is now looking for peace.
