Ram Vilas Singh, in his mid 50s, was killed by unidentified people at his native Bhabhangama village in Lakhisarai district.
Police have lodged a case
against unknown people and are investigating.
Although Lakhisarai Police downplayed Singh's murder by describing it a case of rivalry with a powerful villager, RTI activists are not ready to buy the theory.
"It appeared to be a case of the killing of an RTI activist for exposing black-marketers and hoarders," Rupesh, a Patna-based RTI activist said.
