Late-Night Shooting at Bidasar Hotel Claims Life, Injures Three in Churu District
A violent incident unfolded late Monday night at a hotel in Bidasar town, located in the Churu district of Rajasthan, resulting in one fatality and three individuals sustaining serious injuries. According to police reports, unknown assailants entered the Royal Treat Hotel and opened fire indiscriminately before fleeing the scene.
Victims and Immediate Aftermath
The deceased has been identified as Muniram Manda (40), the owner of the Royal Treat Hotel, who had connections to the local liquor and hospitality sectors. He was rushed to Sujangarh hospital but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The three injured victims—Bhekharam, Shravan, and Prabhuram—received initial treatment at Bidasar hospital before being referred to Jaipur for advanced medical care due to the severity of their wounds.
Police Response and Investigation
Police teams, led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Jai Yadav, swiftly secured the hotel premises and initiated evidence collection. The area was cordoned off as forensic teams worked to gather clues, with a heavy police presence maintained around the hospital and vicinity. SP Yadav indicated that the violence likely stems from ongoing rivalries in the local liquor business, which may have escalated into this lethal confrontation.

Police have detained 10 suspects for questioning to unravel the motivations behind the attack and have launched a manhunt for the assailants, analyzing CCTV footage to aid in identification.
