He added that he was told by some villagers that Vinod was at Maal police station between 8 pm and 9.30 pm on Monday and left for his house in Salehnagar after that. “I was told that Vinod was accompanying Sushil, Rinku and Anoop on Monday night and later disappeared,” Santosh claimed. He alleged that Sushil, Anoop and Rinku killed Vinod in connection with some old rivalry. The news of Vinod’s death flew thick and fast and several local leaders assembled at the scene to give the issue a political colour. Soon a huge number of villagers in support to the deceased assembled at the scene. They put the corpse on the road and blocked it as a mark of protest. The mob later started sloganeering against the police blaming them for the poor law and order and failing to save lives of innocents. “Every day, someone is being killed or assault- ed by goons. The cops are hapless and unable to initiate action. Sometimes the cops do not ini- tiate action under pressure of senior officials or political persons,’ they alleged. The sources in Police department said the incident might have serious political consequence in the time to come. “The deceased belongs to a Dalit community while the accused come from upper caste. There is a long standing rivalry between them,” the sources said. Police spokesman AK Dwivedi said a case of murder was registered against the above named accused. “The police had also slapped SC/ST Act on the accused and Malihabad Police checking vehicles at Naka on Tuesday in view of the model code of conduct Pioneer CO is investigating the case,” he added.
