A terrifying incident has shaken the residents of Samastipur, Bihar, where a 19-year-old youth, Rajnish Kumar, was left fighting for his life after being shot in the mouth by unidentified assailants. The brutal attack took place on Tuesday night, turning a routine trip home into a nightmare.
Ambush Near Cremation Ground
The incident unfolded near the Saniya Baha cremation ground, situated along the Budhi Gandak embankment in Madhurapur Tara village. Rajnish, the son of the late Rai Sahab Sahni, was traveling on his motorcycle from Madhopur Bhual toward his home in Madhurapur Ghat when he was intercepted.
According to reports, three men riding a motorcycle blocked his path. What began as a dispute quickly turned violent. In a shocking escalation, one of the attackers produced a pistol and fired a shot directly into Rajnish's mouth before the trio vanished into the darkness of the night.

Dr. Rajkumar, the physician on duty, administered initial treatment and discovered that the bullet had become lodged in the victim's jaw.
