at about 04:30 a.m. the informant’s father Dilip
Prasad Mandal had left home for defecation but he did not
return home. The informant searched him but failed. On
16.11.2019, at around 10:00 p.m., it was discovered that his
father’s dead body was hanging from a banyan tree near Pasol
cremation ground. Thereafter, when the informant and other
villagers reached there, they saw and felt that the body had been
beaten to death and thereafter hanged with a tree. It also
appeared that hot water was poured on the body and an attempt
was made to crack the left eye. His father was having a
domestic land dispute with the accused persons, namely, Kshetis
Mandal, Tetar Mandal and Lakhan Mandal and they had
threatened to kill his father. The informant was sure that all the
accused persons had killed his father and thereafter hanged the
dead body with a tree.
