Khanna Man Arrested for Murder of Friend Following DisputePreviousNext

A 20-year-old daily wager, Sachin Kumar, was killed in Khanna after an altercation with his friend Harman Singh, who struck him repeatedly on the head with a brick. The incident occurred near the Meat Market on October 30, following a dispute after Sachin paid an instalment for his mobile phone. Harman allegedly took Sachin to bushes, assaulted him, and stole his belongings. Harman was arrested, and the police upgraded the charge from culpable homicide to murder based on post-mortem findings.
