Patna, May 2 : Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Anil Oraon was shot dead by unknown assailants in Bihar s Purnia district, a police official said on Sunday.
Oraon, LJP Tribal unit President, was kidnapped from Khazanchi Haat police station area on April 29, for a ransom of Rs 10 lakh. The family members of the deceased leader had paid the ransom amount to the kidnappers, despite they killed Oraon. After kidnapping Oraon, the kidnappers had demanded Rs 10 lakh in cash. We managed to arrange the money and went to the address given by them. We waited at Bhanbhag Bandh (embankment) where two persons came on a Pulsar motor bike and took away the bag containing Rs 10 lakh. Since then we were waiting for Anil Oraon s release, said Rameshwar Oraon, a relative of the deceased leader.
