Summary
- College principal and another man arrested for murder.
- Victim's body discovered in the boot of a car.
- Dispute over college management linked to the crime.
In Etah, the principal of Madhavanand Inter College and an associate were arrested on Monday. Police apprehended them as they allegedly attempted to hide the body of a college clerk in the neighboring Kasganj district. The victim, identified as Rahul Kumar Pandey, worked as a clerk at the institution.
Authorities intercepted a vehicle in Kasganj's Patiali police station area following an anonymous tip. Rahul Kumar Pandey's body was found in the car's trunk. The college principal, Krishna Kumar Pandey, was arrested along with another occupant.
Preliminary investigations suggest a long-standing conflict regarding the college's administrative control and management likely precipitated the murder. The victim's family asserted that Pandey was called to the college on Sunday and was killed in a premeditated act.
The body has been submitted for a post-mortem examination. An FIR has been lodged based on the family's complaint. Authorities are also investigating the unidentified mobile number that provided information about the incident, with further inquiries ongoing.
