“Both Shashi and Arvind had called Lalu from his house to discuss about the conflicting issue late on Sunday night. But at the Raibasa level-crossing where they had told Lalu to come for the discussion, they were prepared with lethal weapons to attack the victim. Eventually, as soon as Lalu appeared there, the two might have hacked him to death, ” said a police officer who is a part of the investigating police team told The Jharkhand Story.
The two suspects have since been absconding, leading the police to try to trace them.
