Kanpur Man Dies After Brutal Attack Over School Dispute

In Kanpur Dehat, Devkinandan Paswan, 50, succumbed to injuries late Sunday night following a severe assault. His wife, Mamta, is in critical condition after the attack, which occurred in Bannapur under the Shivli police station area. The incident reportedly stemmed from an altercation with a school watchman named Govind and his wife, Sangam.

Paswan's daughter stated that Govind frequently abused their family. When her father intervened on Sunday evening, Govind and his wife attacked the couple. The situation escalated when Gomti, with others, allegedly attacked them again with weapons. Paswan was taken to Lala Lajpat Rai hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police have filed an FIR against the accused and have deployed teams for their apprehension. The dispute between Paswan and Govind is believed to have originated from a previous disagreement over who was employed as the school watchman, as Paswan had previously held the position.
