A former railway gangman, Dinesh Murmu, attacked CBI ASI Virendra Singh with a bow and arrow outside the agency's office in Hazratganj, Lucknow. Singh, who had investigated Murmu for railways corruption in 1993, sustained chest injuries. Murmu has been arrested for attempted murder.

In a shocking turn of events, a CBI Assistant Sub-Inspector was assaulted with a bow and arrow by a former railway gangman, Dinesh Murmu, outside the agency's office in Hazratganj, Lucknow. The accused has been arrested following the incident that left the ASI injured.

The confrontation is rooted in historical grievances; Murmu's attack revives his discontent from a 1993 corruption investigation led by ASI Virendra Singh, which resulted in Murmu's dismissal. This incident marks another violent episode in Murmu's record, following previous clashes with law enforcement in 2005 and 2015.
