Man hacked to death over inter-community relationship in UP's Maharajganj
There was a man named Hazari who lived in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, India.
He was 28 years old and made his living by farming fish.
Hazari was close to a woman who belonged to a different community.
This closeness had caused arguments between their families in the past.
One Sunday evening, some relatives of the woman came to Hazari's house.
A big argument started, and it turned into a fight.
During the fight, Hazari was struck with a spade, which is a heavy digging tool.
He was hurt very badly and died from his injuries.
The police are now investigating what happened.
They will decide what action to take after examining the complaint and medical reports.
A 28-year-old man, Hazari, was allegedly hacked to death with a spade in Uttar Pradesh's Maharajganj district.
Police linked the attack to Hazari's long-standing relationship with a woman from another community, which had previously caused tensions between the families.
The incident took place on Sunday night in Kharkhora village under the Brijmanganj police station area.
Relatives of the woman reportedly visited Hazari's house on Sunday evening, when an argument escalated into a physical altercation.
Brijmanganj Station House Officer Madan Mohan Mishra said an investigation is underway, with further action based on the complaint and post-mortem report.
