A 25-year-old man, Abhishek Kumar alias Raja, from Khagaria, was found dead in suspicious circumstances on the back seat of a car in Begusarai. Raja, who rented out his car to Jio company in Khagaria, had left home on Saturday to attend a birthday party with friends. His family suspects he was murdered.

According to Raja's mother, Rakhi Devi, she last spoke to him at 9 PM on Saturday, after which his phone was switched off. On Sunday, one of Raja's friends called the family from his phone, informing them that Raja was unwell and had been taken to Begusarai for treatment. Upon reaching Begusarai, the family spotted Raja's car near Shahpur Toll Plaza. They found him unconscious on the back seat and rushed him to a private hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

The family alleges that one of Raja's friends is involved in illegal liquor trade and other criminal activities. His mother believes Raja was murdered. The condition of the body suggests that his death might have been due to an overdose during a liquor and drugs party with friends. Raja's wife and two children are in deep distress following the incident.

Begusarai Nagar Police have recorded the father's statement. Nagar Station House Officer Satish Kumar Himanshu stated that the exact cause of death would be revealed after the post-mortem report. An FIR has been registered based on the father's statement, and an investigation is underway. The police are awaiting the post-mortem report to ascertain the true cause of death.
