Why did the violent clash happen?
According to the victims, the trouble started due to a neighborhood dispute. A man identified as Anil was reportedly drunk and was shouting abuses outside the victim’s house. When the family members stepped out and asked him to stop the misbehavior, the situation escalated quickly.
Anil allegedly called a group of 14 to 15 people to the spot. The group entered the house and launched a coordinated attack on the family. They used heavy sticks and iron rods to beat everyone present. One of the victims, Murari Mandal, said he was at a temple for wedding rituals when he heard the news. When he rushed home to help, he was also brutally beaten by the mob.
