Police said initial investigation suggested land dispute as the reason behind the murder.

Advocate Manoj Jha, a resident of Church road in Ranchi, was killed in Radgaon area under Bundu police station while he was overseeing construction on a piece of land owned by one of his clients, an educational institution, last week.

“We have recovered the arms and the bike used in the crime. We have also recovered the vehicle they used to flee the city. We are looking for few more people involved in the incident. They will be arrested soon,” said Jha
