Old Feud Allegedly Ends in Farmer’s Killing in Pilibhit
A farmer named Vedram was killed in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday morning.
Police said he was attacked while taking his usual walk.
They suspect the killing was connected to an old family dispute.
In 2005, Vedram had been convicted in the killing of Nandram.
He served five years in prison and was released in 2012.
Nandram’s sons were children when their father died.
Police allege that two of those sons, Ramdev and Shyamdev, attacked Vedram with a sharp weapon.
The brothers have been detained while police investigate what happened.
A 50-year-old farmer, Vedram, was allegedly hacked to death during a morning walk in Bilhari village.
Police said the suspected motive was revenge for Vedram’s 2005 killing of Nandram.
