Property Dispute Turns Deadly: Elderly Man Found Slain in Hisar Village
In a shocking incident in Hisar district, a 57-year-old man was discovered dead with his throat slit in Masudpur village, Hansi, on Monday morning. The deceased, identified as Shamsher Singh, was found lying on a cot at his residence around 7 am, prompting immediate police action.
Police Investigation and Evidence Collection
Upon receiving the information, police teams swiftly arrived at the scene, accompanied by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ravinder Sangwan. A preliminary inquiry was conducted, and a forensic team meticulously collected evidence from the location to aid in the investigation.
Initial findings point to a brutal murder, with a bloodstained stick recovered from the spot, suspected to have been used in the crime. The police have launched a thorough probe into the circumstances surrounding Singh's death.
Property Dispute Suspected as Motive
The investigation has revealed that the murder is likely linked to a long-standing property dispute between Shamsher Singh and his younger brother, Surajmal, who has been named as the accused in the case and is currently at large.
According to local sources, Shamsher Singh, who was unmarried, had previously transferred his agricultural land to Surajmal's name. This land was later sold, and tensions escalated when Surajmal attempted to sell his house—a move strongly opposed by Shamsher and other family members.
Police suspect that these escalating conflicts over property matters ultimately led to the fatal altercation, resulting in Singh's tragic demise.
Ongoing Police Efforts and Community Impact
In response to the crime, DSP Ravinder Sangwan announced that a CIA team has been constituted to apprehend the accused, Surajmal. Statements from family members are being recorded as part of the ongoing investigation to gather more details and build a strong case.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the Masudpur village community, highlighting the severe consequences of familial disputes over property. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the swift resolution of this case.
Further investigation is underway, with police committed to ensuring justice for the victim and his family.
