In a fit of anger, the accused duo confronted Sudharam Baheshwar. The juvenile delinquent hurled a stone at the victim, striking him on the head, while Aman Chauhan, wielding a knife, viciously attacked Sudharam, inflicting fatal injuries to his stomach and ribs. Severely wounded, Sudharam was rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Sudharam Baheshwar leaves behind a grieving family, including his wife, two sons, and a daughter.
Following the incident, Aman Chauhan initially evaded the police. However, thanks to the vigilance of concerned citizens, his whereabouts were eventually traced, leading to his arrest after a brief chase.
Notably, Aman Chauhan had been involved in previous altercations within the area, displaying a propensity for violence. Just two days prior to the fatal incident, he had caused disturbances in the locality while wielding a knife. The escalating tensions prompted the deployment of the Quick Response Team (QRT) to maintain law and order in the vicinity.
A case has been registered against Aman Chauhan under Sections 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code by the Beltarodi Police.
