Major Breakthrough in Anil Tiger Murder Case: Suraj Sinha Arrested; Orchestrated Attack on Businessman for a ₹20 Lakh Contract
Ranchi: The Ranchi Police have achieved a major breakthrough in the case involving a life-threatening attack on steel and cement businessman Radheshyam Sahu, arresting the notorious criminal Abhishek Kumar Sinha—alias Suraj Sinha. The accused was apprehended in Kolkata and brought to Ranchi, where, during interrogation, he confessed to orchestrating the shooting incident in exchange for a contract fee (supari) of ₹20 lakh.
According to the police, on October 15, 2025, two criminals opened fire—discharging multiple rounds—at Radheshyam Sahu, the owner of Sambhavi Enterprises, near Kathal Morh within the jurisdiction of the Nagri Police Station. Sahu sustained serious injuries in the incident. Case No. 160/25 was registered at the Nagri Police Station in connection with the matter, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was constituted to probe the case.
During the course of the investigation, the police had previously arrested and incarcerated two shooters involved in the incident, while Suraj Sinha—the alleged mastermind behind the attack—remained at large. Acting on a tip-off, a team led by the Superintendent of Police (Rural) conducted a raid in Kolkata and successfully apprehended the accused.
During interrogation, the accused admitted that he had orchestrated the attack on the businessman after accepting a contract fee of ₹20 lakh. The police are now conducting continuous raids in search of other criminals involved in the case.
The investigation also revealed that Suraj Sinha is the alleged mastermind behind the high-profile murder case of Anil Mahto—alias Anil Tiger. According to the police, the conspiracy to murder Anil Tiger was hatched across both Ranchi and Kolkata, stemming from a land dispute. A contract fee of ₹5 lakh was paid for the assassination, and extensive reconnaissance was conducted prior to the incident.
The police further stated that multiple cases—including charges of murder, extortion, shooting incidents, and violations of the Arms Act—are already registered against the arrested accused.
