In a heartbreaking incident that has shaken Kushinagar district, the body of a 12-year-old boy was discovered on his family's agricultural property, with police suspecting a long-standing land dispute led to the brutal murder.
Tragic Discovery in Family Farm
The young victim, identified as Rohan Prajapati, had been missing since Tuesday evening before his lifeless body was found Wednesday morning in a sugarcane field belonging to his family. The discovery sent shockwaves through the Tamkuhi Road area where the family resides.
Property Dispute Suspected Behind Killing
According to Kushinagar police officials, preliminary investigations point toward an ongoing property conflict as the primary motive. "We have strong reasons to believe this murder is connected to a land dispute involving the boy's family," stated a senior police officer involved in the case.
The investigation revealed that the family had been entangled in a contentious property disagreement with another party, which allegedly escalated into this tragic outcome.
Community Outrage and Police Response
Local residents expressed anger and grief over the incident, with many demanding swift justice for the young victim. The brutal nature of the crime against a minor has particularly disturbed the rural community.
Police have launched a comprehensive investigation and are pursuing several leads. "We are exploring all angles and following specific evidence gathered from the crime scene," the investigating officer confirmed.
Growing Concern Over Property Dispute Violence
This tragic case highlights the increasingly violent nature of property conflicts in rural Uttar Pradesh. Land disputes often turn deadly when negotiations fail and tensions escalate beyond control.
The incident serves as a grim reminder of how property conflicts can destroy families and claim innocent lives, with children becoming unintended victims of adult conflicts.
As the investigation continues, the community awaits answers while the family mourns the unimaginable loss of their young son in what appears to be a preventable tragedy born from property disagreements.
