India, Oct. 30 -- A political row erupted in Bihar over the alleged shooting of a Jan Suraaj Party supporter in Patna's Mokama area on Thursday.

The victim, identified as Dularchand Yadav, was shot dead in the Mokama area after gunshots were fired during the election campaign.

Patna SSP Kartikeya K Sharma told PTI that the exact cause of the death was not known as Yadav's body has not been handed over to the police.

"Whether he succumbed to bullet injuries or it was an accidental death can only be known when the police get the body," the SSP said.

Another officer, however, confirmed that Yadav died while he was campaigning for Jan Suraaj Party's candidate Piyush Priyadarshi.

The Mokama seat remains one of the prominent seats in Bihar...
