A security guard identified as Subodh Yadav, 45, was fatally shot during his night shift at a brick kiln in the Munger district of Bihar. The incident, which occurred early Wednesday, has led to a police investigation centered on potential motives related to a prior legal dispute.

Forensic teams have processed the area, and authorities are currently analyzing CCTV footage from the brick kiln premises to identify the perpetrators.
