BHOPAL: A 23-year-old youth was axed to death by his 32-year-old drunk friend over a petty dispute in Nazirabad on Monday afternoon. The deceased and the accused had gone to a country liquor shop when a dispute took place between them over who would pay for the liquor.
The deceased was identified as Golu Ahirwar, 23, a resident of Sindhora village in Nazirabad. The accused Radheshyam Mehar resides in the same village.
Their argument escalated and ended with the already-drunk Radeshyam hitting Golu twice with an axe. Golu sustained severe injuries on his head and neck and died on the spot. The accused fled. A fruitseller nearby informed the police and a murder case was registered. Efforts are on to nab the accused, said police.
BHOPAL: Residents of Madhya Pradesh’s capital woke up to news of curfew in three police station areas Teela Jamalpura, Hanumanganj and Gautam Nagar and prohibitory orders under CrPC 144 in 11 other localities on Sunday.
DM Avinash Lavania imposed the curfew and prohibitory orders as a precaution after a trust identified with RSS started building a boundary wall on a piece of land, following an SDM’s order in its favour. The land is claimed to be a graveyard by the MP Waqf Board. However, neither RSS nor MP Waqf Board were directly involved in the decades-long legal feud over possession of the 20,000 sqft plot.
