“Even though he was alone, Sen, who was in uniform, confronted the looters and fought with them. In the melee, the tractor driver and the mini truck driver escaped with their vehicles. The miscreants then caught and dragged Sen around 100 metres into a nearby field and repeatedly hit his head with stones which resulted in his death,” Shrivastava said.

Police sources said shortly before killing Sen, the same group of men had attempted to rob the driver of a Maruti van and broke the windshield of the vehicle but the driver managed to escape.

Shrivastava said a manhunt has been launched to look for the robbers.

“We have started combing operation in the nearby villages to trace the accused,” the SP added.
