Yadav, who had suffered more than 15 stab injuries, was rushed to nearby hospital by the neighbours. However, the doctors declared him brought dead. The body was later shifted to the mortuary at Mayo hospital.
Tension sparked at Mayo hospital after Munna Yadav’s supporters and the deceased’s relatives protested and raised slogans at the hospital for immediate arrest of the attackers. Pachpaoli police have registered a case of murder and attempt to murder against the attackers.
Police sources informed that few youths have been rounded up by police. Yet no arrest was shown.
Prima facie, police suspect that the murder was over property dispute. Sources informed that Yadav owned many shops and flats. He had given them on rent and would earn high. However, his cousin was eyeing on his property that led to property dispute among the brothers.
Relatives informed that earlier also, Yadav’s cousin has picked up a quarrel with him and had threatened him of dire consequences.
