A high-stakes police operation at Kanke Dam in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India, led to a shootout with murder suspects linked to the death of 40-year-old land dealer Bhargav Singh. The incident occurred around 7:30 am on Wednesday, resulting in injuries to both a suspect, Satyam Pathak, and an assistant sub-inspector, Lal Mohan Kharia. Pathak was shot in both legs while attempting to escape after snatching a weapon from police. The confrontation was triggered by the murder of Singh, who was shot at close range near Manokamana Temple on Tuesday morning over a ₹20 lakh (approximately $24,000 USD) land dispute. Singh identified his attacker, leading to the swift arrest of Vijay Tete, the prime suspect, shortly after the incident. Authorities have recovered two weapons from Pathak, who has a notable criminal history, including previous murder charges.
