Answer:
That day was Friday. It was weekly holiday. The market was closed. So,
the number of people was fewer in the market. Those who had emergency
work were in the market. Taking this as a chance, a group of misguided
assailant killed him brutally at his own office at about 3 pm. The killers
fled away safely after they had accomplished the killing mission. After
the incident, the police department became alert. A number of probe
committees were formed. But it is a matter of great regret that the killers
have not been identified yet. The family of the deceased has expressed
deep frustration because of ineffective measures of the administration.
Even the most optimistic people have started getting frustrated as the
police could not make any visible progress of the case. The father of the
deceased is a university professor. He is a great scholar and respected
person. He has almost lost his sense losing his only son. The entire family
is dumb stuck and overwhelmed with grief. General people are worried,
shocked and panic stricken. We condole the family afflicted with grief.
We expect exemplary punishment for all killings.
