Bihar police have detained three men from Buxar district, including Aman Kumar, over an alleged conspiracy to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Investigators allege the main accused approached the US Central Intelligence Agency seeking funds and set a timeline for the plan, with seized laptops now under forensic review. A special investigation team is examining possible foreign links, while the suspects’ families deny any knowledge of such activities.
Police in Buxar district arrested Aman Kumar and two others from Asha Parari village under Simri police station limits after receiving secret information. Authorities allege the suspects attempted to obtain confidential information from the Prime Minister’s Office and were in contact with foreign intelligence agencies. The arrests followed a late-night raid, and the accused are being questioned at a secure location by district police.
According to police, Aman Kumar allegedly sent a message to the US Central Intelligence Agency seeking a large sum of money and requesting 22 days to carry out an attack on the Prime Minister. The alleged communication has prompted heightened security concerns and the formation of a special investigation team. Officials are working to trace any wider network or overseas connections
During raids, police recovered laptops and other electronic devices from the suspects’ residences and sealed certain rooms to preserve evidence. These items are undergoing forensic examination to verify the alleged communications and identify any additional links. Investigators say digital forensics will be key to understanding the extent of the purported conspiracy.
Aman Kumar’s parents and neighbours have expressed disbelief at the allegations, portraying him as a simple villager. His mother said plainclothes officers took him away while he was preparing dinner, without explaining the reason. The incident has left the local community unsettled and questioning the claims.
