A major development has emerged in the Madhubani firing case in Bihar, where the body of absconding Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Chandra Mohan Singh was recovered from a field in the Babubarhi area on Thursday night, November 12, 2026. Police confirmed his identity on Friday, November 13.

Singh had been missing since allegedly opening fire on villagers earlier this month, killing one person and injuring three others. His body was discovered after local residents reportedly noticed a foul smell coming from a field.

What Happened in the November 3 Firing Incident?

According to police, the incident took place on November 3 in Balirajgarh village under Babubarhi police station limits in Madhubani district.

Singh allegedly opened fire after being confronted by villagers inside the house of a woman with whom he was reportedly in a relationship. During the confrontation, he allegedly fired several rounds before fleeing the scene.

One person, identified as Ashok Yadav, died in the incident, while three others sustained injuries.

Following the shooting, a case was registered against the police officer, and a search operation was launched to locate him.

12 Special Teams Formed to Search for the Accused Officer

Madhubani police formed around 12 special teams to trace and arrest Singh. The teams conducted searches at suspected hideouts in different parts of Bihar and carried out raids near the India-Nepal border.

Police also searched locations outside the state as part of the operation. A reward of ₹25,000 had initially been announced for information leading to his arrest.

However, before the search operation could lead to his arrest, police received information about an unidentified body lying in a field in the Babubarhi area on Thursday evening.

Body Identified Through Documents and Personal Belongings

Madhubani Senior Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar said the body was identified as Chandra Mohan Singh through his clothes and documents recovered near the location.

His Aadhaar card, mobile phone, laptop and other personal belongings were found at the spot. A forensic team also recovered his service pistol and collected evidence for further examination.

Police conducted an inquest in the presence of an executive magistrate. A three-member medical board was assigned to carry out the post-mortem examination, which was also scheduled to be videographed.

Cause of Death Remains Unknown

The exact circumstances surrounding Singh's death have not yet been established. Police stated that the cause of death would be determined after examining the post-mortem findings and forensic evidence, including the recovered service pistol.

Investigators are examining all possible angles before reaching any conclusion.

The recovery of the officer's body has added a new development to the Madhubani firing case, which remains under investigation.
