Who is Journalist Pankaj Mishra?

Why was He Attacked?

While, earlier, Dilip Kumar, the SP of Arwal, stated that the reason for shooting Mishra is personal enmity, Mishra had a brief story to tell. It seems the personal animosity was due to Mishra’s profession.

As told by Mishra to NDTV, both the assailants are close to  JD(U) legislator, Satyadeo Singh from Kurtha. Kundan Mahto, the arrested assailant, is the son of Singh’s personal assistant Anant Kumar Verma. The police meanwhile is  on a look out for the other attacker, Ambika Mahto. According to Mishra, in the past, he had written against Kundan and this is the reason why he attacked him.

Pankaj meanwhile is being treated at Patna hospital.
