The accused, Lakhan, and the deceased, Gajendra, are said to have been not only good neighbours but also good friends. But a few days ago, the deceased’s son, Tenpal, had a serious altercation with Lakhan. However, timely intervention of villagers saved the situation and led to reconciliation between the two.
Late on Saturday night, during a drinking session, when the matter came up the two families fought a pitched battle pelting stones on each other. Soon the fight turned into bloodshed when Lakhan allegedly opened fire. Lakhan was accompanied by his aides during the violent fight, according to the SHO.
When things went out of control, heavy police force was to be deployed to maintain law and order in the village.
Meanwhile, bodies of the dead were handed over to the family after postmortem last evening.
