A woman critically injured in celebratory firing allegedly by BJP leader and former JDU MLA Raju Singh at a New Year's eve party here, died on Thursday even as the arrested former lawmaker was sent to seven days police custody.
The 42-year-old woman was allegedly hit by a bullet fired by Singh at a farmhouse here during a party on Monday night. She was under treatment at Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj.
Singh was arrested from Gorakhpur on Wednesday.
