A local journalist in Bihar's Araria district was shot dead this morning at his house by unidentified gunmen, Bihar Police said. The incident took place in the Raniganj Bazaar area. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called it a dukhad (sad) incident and said that on hearing the news, he immediately directed officials to investigate the crime. "How can a journalist be killed like this," he told reporters in Patna. Vimal Kumar Yadav, the 35-year-old victim, worked as a local journalist for the 'Dainik Jagran' newspaper, police said.
