In a disturbing trend of rising violence against police personnel in Bihar, five policemen sustained injuries during a mob attack in the Bhagalpur district. The incident, which took place in Antichak, Kahalgaon sub-division on a Saturday night, came as officers were dispatched to resolve a conflict between two groups.

This attack marks the third such assault on law enforcement in the state in less than a week. Prior incidents include the fatal attack on assistant sub-inspector Santosh Kumar Singh in Munger district and another death of a policeman in a scuffle with a mob in Araria.

Despite the deployment of additional forces to control the situation, the prime accused managed to escape. Authorities have launched a search based on a case registered through eyewitness accounts, including that of local magistrate Sanjeev Choudhary. Police efforts continue to maintain law and order amidst heightened tensions.
