Nepalese man found murdered at Jarai village in Shimla’s Theog
The deceased has been identified as Dhani Ram
A Nepalese labourer has allegedly been found murdered at a shed in Jarai village under Theog subdivision, Shimla district. The deceased has been identified as Dhani Ram.
As per the complaint filed by a local orchardist, a few days ago, a family from Nepal had come to his orchards seeking work, after which he provided them a place to stay in a shed in his orchards.
The family comprised Suresh, his wife, their five children and their nephew Dhani Ram. He alleged that today, when he reached the shed, he found that the family was not there. Upon checking the shed, he found Dhani Ram lying unconscious on the floor. Suspecting that the family might have murdered him before fleeing from the shed, he approached the police.
The police registered a case under Section 103 (1) (murder) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and initiated an investigation. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Shimla, Gaurav Singh said that efforts are under way to trace the family.
