A petrol pump employee was shot and killed during a robbery in Jamtara district. The incident took place on Saturday night along the Govindpur-Sahibganj highway. The victim, Janardan Majhi, was 26 years old and worked at the Mayra petrol pump in Fatehpur. Majhi was on duty at around 8 PM when three armed men on a motorcycle arrived.
