A tribal man was found allegedly murdered at Urti village, about 25 km away from the district headquarters, a police official said today.
The incident took place late last night, police said.
"The body of the victim identified as Hanslal Baiga (30) was found some distance away from his residence," city Superintendent of Police (CSP) Anil Sonkar said.
He left the house at night and did not return home, following which his family members and other villagers looked for him. Finally they found his body near the house. His head was smashed with a stone, the officer said.
Investigation into the case is on and a hunt has been launched to nab the accused.
