Bihar: A labourer in Bihar’s Ara was allegedly killed by his friends over a dispute for Rs 500. He was 20-year-old. The assailants stabbed both his eyes with a knife after the murder and dumped his body in a mustard field.
The victim was identified as Mohan Singh. Singh, a resident of Bara Basantpur village, was brutally attacked with a knife, allegedly by his friends, on the pretext of celebrations.
