In a heart-wrenching incident in Saya village of Bisanda police station area of Banda, a Dalit farmer was beaten to death by three brothers over a petty dispute, police said on Thursday.
According to reports, Ram Naresh was going home after working in his field in the Baberu area of Banda late on Wednesday evening. On the way, he asked a rickshaw-puller to drop him to his village (Saya). As the rickshaw-puller refused, an argument ensued between the two. The dispute took an ugly turn when two brothers of the rickshaw-puller also reached the spot and abused Ram Naresh.
When Ram Naresh confronted them, they attacked him with sticks and fled the scene after he collapsed. Some passersby informed the family of Ram Naresh. His family members rushed to the spot and shifted him to a hospital where doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.
After receiving the information, the cops from Bisanda police station reached the spot and sent the body for autopsy. On the complaint of the deceased’s relatives, the police registered a case against the accused brother trio under relevant IPC sections and also booked them under SC/ST Act.
The police took the accused into custody and were interrogating them. According to the police, the deceased is survived by three daughters and two sons. He was the eldest among five brothers.
Meanwhile, in a tragic incident in Bijwar village under Raipur police station area of Sonbhadra district, three people, including two brothers, who had gone down to remove the pump from a well, died after inhaling some poisonous gas. According to reports, Surya Prakash (31) of Bijwar village had gone into the well to remove the pump near his house on Wednesday evening.
Seeing him struggle, elder brother Deepak (35) rushed to his rescue and he also got trapped in the trap of poisonous gas. As their neighbour Balwant (40) tried to rescue them, he also met the same fate.
Other villagers reached the spot and pulled out the trio before rushing them to the Vaini CHC from where doctors referred them to the district hospital. The family members took them to the district hospital where doctors pronounced the trio dead.
The family members took the dead bodies to Vaini and kept them on the road. They blocked the traffic movement, alleging negligence on the part of doctors and demanded compensation for the kin of the deceased. The local administration later pacified the protesters by assuring them adequate compensation. It was only after that the bodies were sent for autopsy.
