PNS n Defecation in open took one life in Palamu. The shocking incident took place at Shukra Bazaar locality under Rehla police station here, early morning on Thursday. The place of occurrence is 39 kms away from Daltonganj and one and a half km away from Rehla Police Station.
The Officer in charge (OC) of Rehla police station Vishnu Singh said, “The deceased has been identified as Manager Ram (45). He was throttled to death. He was taken down to government Sadar Hospital in Garhwa town but as he was dead already his family got him back midway between Garhwa and Rehla to Shukra Bazar.”
The OC said, “Three people have been arrested. They are Mahender Kumar, Chhotu Kumar and their mother Bijli Devi. One more son of Bijli Devi Sanjay Kumar is an accused of this murder who is absconding.”
OC further said, “Ram used to defecate in open and near the dwelling place of these Kumars. It was opposed and protested by the Kumars. Ram never took their protest and warning any seriously. He repeated his habit this morning and the result is so tragic.”
“Ram had his verbal duel with Chhotu Kumar first. The two had a terrible bout of hot talk today. They cried loud and swift. Then they calmed down but this calmness was deceptive,” he added.
“Chhotu Kumar went home and took two more brothers Mahender Kumar and Sanjay Kumar with him and then the three pounced upon Ram who was gagged to death,” added the OC.
Police said it would verify if there is toilet in the house of Ram or not. Police also said if Ram had toilet and then he had this habit of enraging the Kumars by defecating in open and near his dwelling place every morning then his intention could not be any friendly but inimical to the Kumars as locals vouched there that Ram and the Kumars used to have this early morning word of war every day over the last many days here.
