What came as a shocker for the police was that the killers escaped with the head. The incident took place in the Soinagaon village of Barabanki, about 30 km from Lucknow. "According to the family members of the deceased, Ramnaresh, they had a land dispute with one Sattar Ahmed of the same village for many years," Praveen Kumar, superintendent of police Barabanki, told IANS. According to the complaint, Ramnaresh was going to the village market late Thursday evening when Ahmed, his three sons and two others attacked him. Ramnaresh was shot dead and the attackers chopped off his head. "We have lodged a named FIR against seven persons. All are absconding and we are making efforts to nab them," Kumar said. <http://features.ibnlive.com/chat/dr-vidya-shankar-aiyar/the-nuclear-deal-the-good-the-bad--the-ugly/130.html> Meanwhile, tension prevailed in the village Friday and a heavy police force, along with the para-military, has been deployed. Senior police officials, including the deputy inspector general, also visited the village and assured quick action. The police conducted a rigorous search for the missing head in a periphery of about 10 km but could not find it. "The adjoining fields, ponds, wells and other spots were scanned but nothing was found," Kumar said. -- Vidya Bhushan Rawat Visit my blog at www.manukhsi.blogspot.com For information on the issues, movements and priorities of Scavenger community in India please log on to www.swachchakar.blogspot.com Contribute your article on freedom, humanism and human rights to www.manuski.com For information on civil society initiatives on Muslims in UP please log on to www.rehnumaa.blogspot.com For Social action, land rights, right to food and hunger issues support Social Development Foundation at www.thesdf.org -- Ranjit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
