Outrage Among Workers

Following Vinay Singh's death, outrage spread among Kshatriya Samaj and Karni Sena workers. Protesters blocked National Highway-33 and Dimna Chowk, demanding the immediate arrest of the killers. Police have labelled it a planned murder, formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), and begun examining CCTV footage. Karni Sena leaders have warned of a strong protest and a Jharkhand bandh if the killers are not arrested within 48 hours.

Body Lay on Road for Two Hours

After news of Karni Sena state president Vinay Singh's murder, police arrived at the scene. However, due to a lack of ambulance arrangements, the body remained on the road for about two hours. This caused outrage among those present, leading to strong protests against the police. Angry people prevented the removal of the body without an ambulance.

Traffic Disrupted

An ambulance finally arrived around 12 am, after which the body was taken to MGM Hospital. During this time, a long traffic jam occurred on National Highway-33, completely disrupting traffic.
