ARA-------------------------The joy of Diwali turned into a scene of horror in Ramdihera village under the Bithri (Piro) police station jurisdiction after two brothers were crushed to death by a Scorpio vehicle on Diwali night. Police investigation has revealed that opposition to illegal liquor smuggling was the primary motive behind the deliberate attack.

Following a statement by Munna Yadav, nephew of the deceased, police registered a case against seven named individuals. An FIR (Case No. 388/26) has been registered under sections related to assault and murder.

Taking prompt action, police arrested accused Ritesh Yadav, who is the son of Devmuni Yadav. The remaining six named suspects are currently absconding, and police raid teams are actively pursuing their arrest.

SDPO stated that no aspect of the case will be overlooked and further action will be taken based on ongoing investigations.

The victims, Kamlesh Yadav and Dinesh Yadav (both sons of Ram Naresh Yadav), had stepped out of their home for a walk on Diwali night when the attackers struck. A dispute had been brewing over the unloading of illegal liquor near the Surya Mandir Ghat in the village.
