A village revenue officer (Patwari) and his son were arrested on Friday allegedly for killing his own brother and his son in Singrauli district on Wednesday, said police.

Police said they have arrested Indrabhan Kesari and his son Ajay Kesari in connection with the incident.

Singrauli superintendent of police (SP) Yusuf Qureshi said that Chote Kesari and his son Sachin Kesari were hit by the SUV being driven by Ajay. They mowed down the Chote and his son Sachin at least twice, said the SP.

“On Wednesday, they came to Singrauli on a bike to collect money from Indrabhan but were killed in an accident. We have registered an accident case into the incident,” the SP said, adding that the investigation into the matter has been launched.

He said that they registered the statement of family members of the deceased. The accused were produced before the court that sent them to judicial remand, the SP added.

I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice.
