Jamshedpur News: Residents block a road in protest over open Murder of Taklu Lohar, Jamshedpur gangster

Jamshedpur: Families and locals set up a barricade in front of the Sitaramdera police station on Friday, causing turmoil in the city. The protest called for the immediate arrest of the accused in the murder case and pushed for the filing of a formal complaint based on the testimony given by Taklu Lohar’s widow, Ritu Lohar. In the attack, Taklu Lohar’s partner Manas was hurt, and on Thursday, Taklu Lohar was shot and killed close to the Bhuiyadih Chaudhary Hotel under the Sitaramdera police station.

As per Manas’s account, who was injured, the police filed a murder complaint against unidentified individuals. Family members and locals, however, were not happy with the developments and rushed to the streets, blocking Slag Road in the vicinity of the Sitaramdera police station. In order to reduce the resulting traffic gridlock, police intervention was necessary.

The bereaved widow Ritu Lohar has accused a number of well-known Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leaders of being involved in Taklu’s murder, including Baban Rai, Dubraj Nag, Masuk Manish, Domni Semsang, and Saurabh Dalai. She disclosed that Taklu had conveyed concerns about a possible threat to his life, citing Baban Rai and Dubraj Nag as possible perpetrators. The widow stated that Taklu had gone to the Sitaramdera police station at 2:00 on Thursday afternoon to report the alleged threat, accompanied by friends Manas, Ajay Rai, and Suraj.

Unsettling CCTV footage of the attack has surfaced, showing the attackers running from the scene. Notably, as Taklu is being shot, a police PCR car is seen driving by. The gunman can be seen in the video riding a bike towards the smouldering ghat, where two other people were waiting. Additionally, Ritu Lohar said that Taklu had been getting Reiki sessions in the days preceding the tragedy.

JMM chief Baban Rai responded to the accusations by denying any contact with Taklu and requesting an unbiased police probe. He said he would cooperate completely and that he was prepared to go to court if found guilty. Family members, however, argued that Taklu’s body would not be cremated until the suspects were found.

Taklu Lohar and his three buddies were heading out for a car puncture repair on Thursday when the awful tragedy happened. Taklu lost his life when an unidentified attacker started shooting. Manas was wounded in the right hand while attempting to capture the gunman. Taklu was taken to MGM immediately for treatment, and then he was sent to TMH, where medical professionals pronounced him dead. The community is waiting impatiently for justice for Taklu Lohar while the investigation is still on.
