PATNA: A man succumbed to his injuries on Saturday while his minor son is battling for life as they were allegedly thrashed by their neighbours for keeping cattle feeding trough near their house at
village Balubigha
under Town
police
station area in
Arwal
Friday night.
Police said Vijay Singh (40) died during treatment at PMCH while his son Deepu Singh (14) is in a serious condition.
Town police station SHO Shambhu Paswan said Rambhu Pandit, the neighbour of Vijay, is the prime accused in the case. “Rambhu and his associates fled from the village after committing the crime,” he said.
Paswan said the neighbours had a fight after Vijay allegedly kept his round trough a few inches inside Rambhu’s land.
“Their argument snowballed into a brawl. Rambhu gathered his supporters and thrashed Vijay with sticks and rods. They didn’t even spare his son, who tried to save his father. Both were rushed to Patna after initial treatment at Arwal,” the SHO said.
Arwal SDPO Shashi Bhushan Singh said the cause of the brawl is old enmity over a small plot of government land measuring mere one decimal in front of their houses. “Vijay and Rambhu always tried to capture the plot for their personal use and kept cattle their. They had frequent quarrels, leading to Friday’s clash,” he said.
