Janeshwar Chaudhary from Bokya village beneath neath Chainpur police station was allegedly beaten up by a group of fellows from neighbouring Katual village who reportedly objected to Chaudhary fishing of their village dam, claiming that they'd cultured fish seeds in it and auctioned the harvest in advance.
Chaudhary was later handed over in an injured nation to his family who has been attempting to find him on Monday night time.

Janeshwar developed complications after reaching home and was rushed to hospital, but died soon after,” said Gupta.

We have arrested one Binda Chaurasia and are conducting raids to arrest the other three accused,” Gupta added.
