Prem Paswan was the first to find the body lying in a pool of blood. He put the body in a cycle rickshaw with the help of neighbours and rushed him to a nearby private hospital, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival. 

Paswan said his family has been living in a rented house in Dugri for quite some time. Hailing from Bihar, he has four daughters and two sons. All four daughters are married and his two sons live with him. Paswan earns a living by running a makeshift shop and his son used to assist him in running the family by selling daily-use goods. 

Paswan said that on Wednesday afternoon, Shravan was alone at home and he was at his shop. He returned home in the afternoon for lunch and was shocked to see his son’s body lying in a pool of blood with multiple wounds inflicted by sharp-edged weapons on his neck. 

Prem Paswan added that when the police scanned the footage from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed near the spot and they found two assailants fleeing on a bike after executing the crime.  

Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Ashok Kumar said police have identified the assailants and several teams have been formed for their arrest. The reason behind the murder would be ascertained after the arrest of the accused.
