In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through the district of Baran, a 40-year-old man was allegedly murdered by his two friends for refusing to perform oral sex, according to police statements. The gruesome crime came to light nine days after the victim's body was found in a dry pond, leading authorities to unravel the horrific motive behind the killing.

Baran Superintendent of Police Raj Kumar Choudhary revealed that the deceased, identified as Om Prakash Bairwa, was found dead in the Baran city police station area on February 26. Through technical investigation and inquiries, the police traced the two accused, Murlidhar Prajapati (32) and Surendra Yadav, both residents of Baran city.

Choudhary stated that Prajapati has been arrested, while Yadav is currently admitted to a hospital under police guard after ingesting a poisonous substance, allegedly in an attempt to evade arrest.

During initial interrogation, Prajapati confessed to the murder, shedding light on the chilling sequence of events that led to Bairwa's untimely demise. According to the official, "Prajapati, Yadav, and Bairwa consumed alcohol together on the day of the murder and went to a nearby village to visit Prajapati's sister."

However, the situation took a horrific turn on their way back. "Prajapati and Yadav beat up Bairwa and hacked him to death for refusing to perform oral sex with them," Choudhary added, revealing the disturbing motive behind the brutal crime.

Ramvilas, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Baran city police station, provided further details, stating that Prajapati ran a roadside dhaba, while the other accused, Yadav, was a daily wage worker.

As the investigation continues, the authorities are determined to uncover the full extent of the crime and ensure that justice is served. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting the need for stringent measures to address such heinous acts and uphold the rule of law.

The case has also sparked discussions about the prevalence of violence fueled by intolerance and the importance of promoting awareness and education to combat such heinous mindsets in society.
