Unidentified bike-borne assailants shot dead a tribal village head (Padha Raja) Soma Munda in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, adjacent to State Capital Ranchi, on Wednesday evening (January 7). He was the ‘Adel Sanga Padha Raja’ (traditional head of 22 villages). The incident took place on the Namkum-Jamuadag Road under Khunti police station limits when Munda was returning home on a motorcycle with his wife. Several Adivasi organisations, subsequently, called for a Khunti bandh on Thursday. Munda had contested the assembly polls from the Khunti Assembly seat in 2024. Khunti SDPO Varun Rajak said two unidentified bike-borne miscreants shot at Munda when he was returning home around 7 pm. “He was taken to a hospital by locals, where doctors declared him brought-dead,” Rajak said adding the police have started an investigation, and all angles related to the incident will be explored.
