According to the police, Ghanshyam Tripathi’s wife Nisha Tripathi alleged that ‘some people who live in Narayanpur killed my husband over a land dispute.’

She said, “My husband came to the house in the evening, took ₹3,000 from me and said it was for a person making a map. He left the house after having some snacks before returning after some time on a rickshaw in an injured state.’

Further, she alleged that the son of Narayanpur resident Jagdish Narayan Singh assaulted her husband.

He died in a hospital, she added.

Ghanshyam Tripathi had purchased a land parcel located behind a Saraswati Shishu Mandir and there was ‘commotion’ over it every day, Nisha said.
