The headmistress of a government primary school, Jayanti Singh, was shot dead on Monday night in Kaimur district, Bihar. The alleged motive behind the murder was her husband's refusal to provide a Rs20 lakh loan to the suspect, who is a relative. Jayanti, residing in Laxmanpura village, was targeted while returning home from a neighbor's house. Her husband, Yogendra Singh, filed an FIR naming deputy pramukh Satish Kumar Singh and his accomplice Santosh Kumar as the accused. Satish, also Yogendra's nephew, had reportedly sought the loan, and the murder is believed to be in retaliation for the refusal. The police are conducting raids to apprehend the suspects. Yogendra Singh, employed in Maharashtra, lodged the complaint against the accused.
