Police are yet to crack the murder of a 45-year-old quack Gopal Singh in front of his residence on Friday.
“There is no breakthrough yet. We raided the house of the accused but found nothing,” SDPO Ranka Sudarshan Kumar Astique said on Sunday.
Responding to this reporter’s queries, Astique said the Police are finding out the perpetrator’s hideout and they will be arrested soon.
A land dispute is the main reason behind the murder of Gopal Singh, Astique added.
Gopal was murdered in broad day light near his house on Friday by his nephews at Harhe village under Ramkanda Police station because he was harvesting sesame crop on the disputed land.
On the complaint of deceased’s son, police registered murder case against his nephews Sudama Singh, Shobnath Singh, Satyanand Singh, Jhaman Singh and his son Shivsagar Singh, all resident of Harhe.
There was a land dispute going on for 20 years between the deceased and accused regarding 20 acres of land.
According to sources, accused Shobhnath Singh is a popular figure and has been the Mukhiya candidate in the last panchayat elections. During this, he had got himself abducted by hatching a political conspiracy, so that the panchayat elections could be influenced.
