Yadav, a UML district committee member, whose body was found at his village in Haripur-7, was returning from morning walk when the incident occurred. Sarlahi Superintendent of Police Kedar Dhakal said that Yadav was brutally murdered as his head and face bore several deep gashes and traces of chilli powder were found in his eyes.
“We have intensified the investigation into the murder but we have yet to determine the cause and identify the people involved,” SP Dhakal said.
According to the District Police Office, it has already arrested a few people as suspects and is continuing the investigations. The whole village of Haripur was in shock as the family members mourned the brutal killing of Yadav. The villagers and family members claimed that the murder was politically motivated, but the local politicians and others dismissed such claims. The body of Yadav has been handed over to the family members after conducting autopsies at the District Hospital Malangawa. His body was cremated soon after the dead body was received.
