Late on July 4, prominent Patna businessman and BJP leader Gopal Khemka—owner of Magadh Hospital—was fatally shot at close range by motorcycle-borne assailants in the Gandhi Maidan area, near his apartment gate, around 11:40 pm . Police recovered one bullet and a shell casing; CCTV footage shows the attacker fleeing on a bike . The killing echoes the unresolved 2018 murder of his son, Gunjan. Authorities formed an SIT including the STF to probe motives and suspects, with early leads pointing to property disputes . Opposition leaders condemn it as a breakdown in Bihar’s law & order.
