MP: 22-year-old killed by uncles after political argument turns deadly
In Guna, Madhya Pradesh, a 22-year-old man named Shankar Manjhi was allegedly murdered by his maternal uncles after a heated argument over Bihar assembly election results.
Shankar supported the RJD, while his uncles backed JD(U).
The fight, fueled by alcohol, escalated until the uncles reportedly dragged Shankar to a muddy patch and pinned him down, resulting in his death.
What's happening now?
Shankar was rushed to the hospital but didn't survive.
Police quickly arrested both uncles—Rajesh and Toofani Manjhi—who have confessed during questioning.
The motive has been confirmed as political rivalry.
Investigations are ongoing, and legal proceedings against the accused are underway.
This case is another reminder of how political arguments can sometimes spiral out of control with tragic consequences.
