RAJKOT: A migrant farm labourer was killed by his cousins on Haripar village road on the city’s outskirts. The duo also attacked his two-year-old son, following a dispute over land in their native village of Madhya Pradesh.
The victim Virsinh Singh (27) and his son Sachin were coming on a cycle when his cousins Kalam Singar and Ramesh Singh waylaid them and started a heated argument with Virsinh over the land. One of them smashed a big stone on Virsinh’s head and also hit the little boy with a stone. The boy’s condition is said to be critical in hospital.
The accused fled after the murder but were caught by Aji Dam police from Babra town of Amreli on Tuesday. A passerby saw both of the victims lying in a pool of blood and informed 108 emergency services ambulance. The paramedic staff declared Virsinh dead on the spot while they shifted his son to hospital where he is fighting for his life.
