RAJKOT: A man was hacked to death allegedly by his ex-wife’s paramour in Rafala village of Batawa taluka of Junagadh district on Thursday night.

Thereafter, Nayan along with his family members attacked Kanchan. When Rasik intervened in order to save Kanchan, he too was attacked,” said K K Maru, sub-inspector with Batawa police station.
Rasik was dealt an axe blow on his head which proved fatal for him.
