Father dies after alleged knife attack in Rajpur

Police said 62-year-old Madan Rana was fatally injured at his home in Chalang Kulhan on Sahastradhara Road, within the Rajpur police station area. Madan worked as a mason.

According to police, Madan’s son Nitin, 35, was allegedly seeking money to buy drugs on Monday evening. Nitin lived nearby with his nephew Rishabh Rawat. When Rishabh refused to give him money, Nitin allegedly attacked him with a sickle.

Rishabh ran outside, and Madan came out of the house and reprimanded his son. A dispute then developed between the father and son, police said. Nitin allegedly attacked Madan with a knife, striking him in the chest.

Madan was taken to hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Rajpur station house officer P.D. Bhatt said police had taken the accused son into custody.

Property dispute precedes Adhoiwala death

In a separate incident in Adhoiwala, 28-year-old Gaurav died after an alleged khukri attack during a dispute over family property. Gaurav lived at his maternal grandmother’s house with his mother, younger brother and sister, and worked in graphy.

Police said Gaurav’s grandmother had assigned her house and land to Gaurav’s family. The arrangement had reportedly led to a dispute with Gaurav’s maternal uncle, Nitin Kumar.

Gaurav had gone to the home of his younger maternal uncle on Monday to deliver Diwali sweets. He was speaking with his younger uncle’s son, Bholi, on the road when Nitin Kumar allegedly arrived with several people.

The police account says Gaurav and Bholi were allegedly assaulted before being taken into a room, where they were attacked with a khukri. Gaurav died in hospital. The report also says the accused allegedly attacked his nephew and sister-in-law.

Police arrested Nitin Kumar and his son Rohit in connection with the case. The arrests relate to allegations and do not establish guilt unless proved in court.

Class 10 student dies after party dispute

A third case was reported in the Dalanwala police station area after a 15-year-old student died following an alleged confrontation after a Diwali party. The student, Arsh Ansari, studied in Class 10 at Doon Blossom School.

The incident took place near Suri Chowk at about 3:00 on Sunday morning. Arsh’s father, Nadeem Ansari of Kewal Vihar, said his son had gone to a friend’s home in the Nehru Colony area for a Diwali party.

According to the family’s allegation, Arsh later left in a car with friends. His body was found on the road. Relatives alleged that youths at the location severely assaulted him and that a vehicle also hit him.

Police said a previous enmity had emerged as a possible factor. City Superintendent of Police Shekhar Suyal said a murder case had been registered against 3 of Arsh’s friends. The investigation will determine the circumstances of the death and the role of those named in the case.
