The son of former Bihar minister and MLA of the ruling JD(U) Bima Bharti was found dead today morning under mysterious circumstances near a railway track here and two of his friends have been taken into custody in this connection, police said.
Bharti is the sitting MLA from Rupauli constituency in Purnea district.
Deepak Kumar (21) had left his residence last night along with a couple of friends and his body was found close to the railway track in front of the NMCH hospital in the city by some locals who informed the police, Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna, Manu Maharaj said.
He said injury marks were noticed on Deepak’s head and thigh and the body has been sent for post-mortem.
The SSP said two of Deepak’s friends — Roshan and Mrityunjay who are said to be known to the family of the deceased, have been taken into custody and were being interrogated.
