A shocking discovery was made on Wednesday morning in Kanpur, where a man was found murdered under brutal circumstances in an empty plot near the Pandav river. The incident has sent ripples of fear through the Barra-8 locality.
Grisly Discovery by Passersby
The grim scene was first noticed by early morning passersby near the Pandav bridge. They immediately alerted the police after spotting the body of a man lying in a vacant plot just across the bridge. The victim was found in a horrifying state: his hands were tightly bound behind his back with a rope, his face was concealed under a sack, and a heavy stone had been placed on top of him.
Police Suspect Violent Assault
Preliminary investigations by the Kanpur Police point towards a vicious and premeditated attack. According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), the assailants likely first struck the victim's head with a heavy, blunt object. After incapacitating him, they proceeded to tie his hands and then strangle him to death. The method suggests an intention to both subdue and eliminate the victim.
The police have successfully identified the deceased. He is Vipin Tiwari, a resident of Ramaipur, Jahanpur. Tiwari was employed and worked at a local masala factory. The identification has opened a crucial line of inquiry for the investigators, who are now delving into his personal and professional life to establish a motive.
Investigation Underway
The local police have cordoned off the crime scene for a thorough forensic examination. Teams are collecting evidence, including the rope and sack, and are scanning the area for any CCTV footage that might have captured the perpetrators or the victim's last movements. The primary focus is to trace Tiwari's last known whereabouts and identify anyone he might have had conflicts with.
This brutal murder in a relatively secluded spot has raised concerns about law and order in the area. The police have assured the public that they are pursuing all leads and are committed to solving the case swiftly to bring the culprits to justice.
