The Medical College Police on Monday took into custody a printing press employee who was suspected of murdering Jaisingh Yadav, a 35-year-old labourer from Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday. The police said the victim was a relative of the suspect.
The incident took place at Valayand in the city on Sunday night. Yadav was reportedly hit on his head with a laterite stone, and he succumbed to injuries on the spot.
It was a group of local residents who first informed the police of the incident. The body of the victim was shifted to the Medical College mortuary after post-mortem.
