Summary
- A monetary dispute led to a fatal stone bludgeoning near Nagardevla railway station.
- The accused was apprehended after being tracked down with the victim's jaw.
- Both individuals earned a living selling duplicate rudraksha beads.
In a shocking incident that occurred on Monday night near Nagardevla railway station, a 30-year-old man allegedly murdered his maternal cousin over a financial disagreement. The victim, Dharma Pawar (40), was reportedly beaten to death with a stone by the accused, Juga Kantilal Pawar (30).
The cousins, who were known to sell duplicate rudraksha beads in various towns, had been drinking together near the railway tracks when an argument erupted over Rs 800. The dispute quickly turned violent, leading to Juga allegedly using a large stone to inflict fatal head injuries on Dharma.
Following the discovery of the body by locals, police were alerted. During their investigation, officers tracked down Juga to a nearby agricultural field, where he was found hiding. A search of his bag revealed two live pigeons and, disturbingly, the victim's broken upper jaw with several teeth, the motive for which remains unclear.
A case of murder has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and investigations are ongoing to ascertain the precise sequence of events leading to this brutal crime.
