A 25-year-old youth was shot dead for allegedly overtaking the SUV of a politician on 7 May, in Bihar's Gaya district. The car reportedly belonged to JDU MLC Manorama Devi.

According to media reports, the politician's son Rocky Yadav was driving the car when the youth overtook the car. On 8 May, the police detained the accused's father Bindi Yadav and his bodyguard.

The victim, identified as Aditya Sachdeva, was reportedly returning home after celebrating his birthday with his friends.

Aditya's friend Aayush, who was with him when this incident happened, said they tried to overtake the car but the other side started firing shots in the air.
