Sister witnesses horrific scene in the morning

The young man, Lakhan, had gone to sleep outside the house the previous night. When his sister, Aarti, went to wake him up in the morning, she found his blood-soaked body lying on the cot.

According to family members, Lakhan had previously had a dispute with Nitul Pal, a resident of the village, over a widow. It is alleged that Nitul had previously threatened to kill Lakhan and even attempted to stage an accident.

Due to this enmity, Nitul, along with one of his associates, murdered Lakhan while he was sleeping.

Upon receiving information about the incident, police and forensic teams arrived at the scene and collected evidence. Blood stains were also found in the bushes near the pond.

Additional Superintendent of Police Arun Kumar Singh stated that a case of murder has been registered against Nitul Pal and his unidentified accomplice based on the complaint of the deceased’s father.

According to the post-mortem report, the young man died due to excessive bleeding from a severed neck vein. Police are searching for the accused.
