Police hinted at personal rivalry as the main motive behind the murder, though Ojha’s family claimed it was a “political killing” and demanded a high-level probe. The family said the murder was linked to a “turf war under the new political order”.

Bhojpur SP N C Jha said: “We have arrested one person and conducting raids to arrest the other suspects. We expect to get vital leads in the case soon.”

Meanwhile, protests continued in Bhojpur as the funeral procession of Ojha proceeded to Buxar with all top Bihar BJP leaders attending it.
