The police have booked Sanju, his brothers Mirja, Shambhu and Subash of the same locality. Both the sides were involved in a quarrel two days back and the elders of the colony pacified them both. But when the deceased along with his brother Gopi was taking a walk after meals near their colony, the accused attacked them with an iron rod.

As a result, Sanjhu (24) collapsed and was brought to the local Civil Hospital where doctors declared him brought dead. Police said that a case under Section 103 (1) and 3 (5) of BNS has been registered in this regard. The accused are absconding and the police was conducting raids on their possible hide-outs.
