Unidentified assailants fatally shot AIMIM leader Abdul Salam in Bihar’s Gopalganj district late Monday, marking the second AIMIM leader killed in Bihar since December.
Salam, who recently contested the by-poll to the Gopalganj assembly seat, was attacked while en route to catch a train. Four assailants on two motorcycles opened fire, injuring Salam, who later succumbed to his wounds in the hospital.
Gopalganj police superintendent Swarn Prabhat has established a Special Investigation Team to probe the murder and ascertain the motive behind it.
