A chilling act of violence occurred on Sunday night in Madhukarpur village, Bokaro district, Jharkhand, when Pintu Nayak, a 26-year-old state government official, was brutally gunned down in his own home.
Nayak, who held a position at the Hazaribag district treasury office, had returned to his family residence for a brief visit.
The horrific incident unfolded when, after having dinner with his family, Nayak retired to his room for the night. However, the tranquility of the evening was shattered by the sound of gunfire.
Alarmed, his father, Sakul Nayak, rushed to his son's room only to discover him lying motionless on the bed, his body riddled with bullets.
The family immediately rushed Pintu to the Jamnor Regional Hospital, where medical professionals tragically pronounced him dead upon arrival.
