The victim’s mother said that two days ago, Hussain had a fight with a man known as Mohammed Ashfaque over something.
“During the clash, Ashfaque had even opened fire on my son, causing gunshot injury in the leg. We treated the wound at home instead of going over to the hospital for treatment. But as my son was recovering from the wound, a local youth, namely Sahbaj visited the house on Tuesday morning and took Hussain along. But in the evening we came to know that my son’s body was found inside the Taznagar madrasa, ” narrated the victim’s mother while talking to the newsmen.
Kapali thana OC Sonu Kumar said the man was bludgeoned to death by his friends in retaliation for an old enmity.
“We have already identified the assailants and are trying to trace them out as they have absconded,” said Kumar while talking to The Jharkhand Story.
