At night Pramod and Jaiprakash Yadav were brutally murdered by unidentified men and Rishabh was left on the pretext of being dead after being beaten up. The assailants used kitchen utensils and bricks to smash the victims and the child. The entire house was found ransacked in the morning. “The incident probably happened in the early hours of morning. It seems that the idea was to commit robbery. The bodies have been found in a bad state. It seems that they have been smashed by heavy material like rods and bricks,” said one of the relatives of the family.
SSP, Deepak Ratan, SP (Rural) Jagdish Kumar reached the spot and sealed the entire house. Finger-prints, evidences and other important material have been taken into possession. Sniffer-Dogs were also called for finding any clues.
