Key Questions Answered

Excise sub-inspector Pushpa Kumari was arrested after investigations revealed she fabricated a false story and attempted to destroy evidence following the suspicious death of constable Ajit Kumar, who was actually killed by a bullet from her team's homeguard jawan during a liquor vehicle chase.

Although it was initially claimed that constable Ajit Kumar was murdered by liquor smugglers, police investigations proved he died from a bullet fired from the rifle of a homeguard jawan belonging to his own team on the orders of sub-inspector Pushpa Kumari.

Sub-inspector Pushpa Kumari ran a 10-person gang that engaged in liquor smuggling, extortion, and framing innocent people in fake cases, accumulating enough illicit wealth to plan building a five-crore-rupee resort in Rajgir.
