BHOPAL: Rancour simmering among two Madhya Pradesh families over playing DJ music during Ganesh festivities two months ago was vented out in a ghastly murder of three persons from one of the groups, one burnt alive in an SUV and two others gunned down while trying to the flee a torch-and-shoot mob of around 50.
The blood-curdling scenes unfolded in Shivpuri district’s Chakrampur village on Friday night when some members of the Bhadauria family were passing the homes of the rival Kushwaha group in their vehicle.A woman was among the threekilled. Several others were injured.
Police have arrested 10 people and houses of five of the suspected attackers have been razed by the administration. Cases have been filed against both groups.
Munna Bhadauria’s family was returning after visiting relatives in Gwalior when they were ambushed around 9pm on Friday as they were passing Veer Singh Kushwaha’s house. The assailants allegedly hurled stones at the vehicle, forcing it to stop, after which they surrounded it and set it on fire.
Munna’s wife Ashadevi (42) and brother-in-law Laxman (45) were shot while trying to escape the burning vehicle, while her nephew Amar Singh alias Himanshu (20) was burnt alive.
Munna (50) himself was injured, along with sons Rajendra (28), Yogendra Singh (27) and another nephew, Saurabh Sengar (25).
Veer Singh allegedly doused the vehicle in petrol and torched it. The assailants also wielded sticks, axes and rods during the assault, police said.
On Saturday, angry relatives of the Bhadaurias staged protests, blocking the local Narwar police station for three hours. In a bid to calm down the agitators, local authorities promised action against the accused, including demolition of their houses. Heavy police deployment has been made in the area to prevent further escalation of hostilities between the two groups.
