A 62-year-old farmer was strangled to death by unidentified assailants while he was sleeping in the verandah of his house in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district, police said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to police, the incident occurred at Jagannathpur village under the Sirouli police station limits at around 2:30 am on Saturday when the victim, Gyani Prasad, was asleep.<\/p>\n
Additional Superintendent of Police (North), Mukesh Chandra Mishra, said, “On receiving information about the incident, local police reached the spot and found Gyani Prasad’s body on the bed.<\/p>\n
“His throat was strangled, and blood was coming out of his mouth and nose. The body has been sent for post-mortem, and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the culprits,” the officer said.<\/p>\n
The ASP added that the motive behind the murder is still unclear, and the police are examining all possible angles.<\/p>\n
Once the post-mortem report is received, a formal FIR will be registered based on the family’s complaint, he said.<\/p>\n
The victim’s brother, Nekpal, said, “Gyani Prasad had no enmity with anyone, yet he was murdered. The family is in a state of shock. We will lodge a formal complaint once the post-mortem report is received.” The police are questioning Gyani Prasad’s family members and neighbours to gather more details about the case.<\/p>\n
