In a shocking incident on the outskirts of Bhopal, a three-year land dispute escalated to a near-fatal assault. A local developer, Hakam Singh Gurjar, allegedly hired contract killers for Rs 50,000 to murder a 55-year-old farmer, Indal Singh Gurjar, who was also a land broker. The farmer had reportedly been pressuring the developer to re-allot a plot of land based on an old receipt.
The farmer survived the targeted attack, which occurred near Runaha Jod in Nazirabad, despite sustaining serious injuries including multiple fractures. He was lured to a meeting under the pretense of discussing directions. Five individuals, including the developer, have been apprehended by the police. Investigators recovered Rs 21,000 in cash and iron rods believed to be used in the assault.
