Balangir: A late-night family dispute turned fatal in Odisha’s Balangir district after a man allegedly lost his life in an assault by his younger brother at their residence. The shocking incident occurred in Balipata village under Patnagarh police station limits, triggering concern among local residents.
The deceased has been identified as Bhuban Majhi, while his younger brother, Shanta Majhi, has been accused of assaulting him to death.
According to preliminary reports, the incident took place at around 2 am when the two brothers got into an argument over an unspecified issue. What began as a verbal altercation allegedly escalated into a violent confrontation, with Shanta reportedly assaulting his elder brother. Bhuban sustained injuries in the attack and subsequently died.
At the time of the incident, their father was away in the paddy fields. The absence of their father reportedly meant there was no one at home to intervene and prevent the situation from escalating. Reports further suggest that both brothers had been suffering from mental health issues. However, the exact reason behind the dispute and the circumstances that led to the fatal assault are yet to be established.
Further details regarding the circumstances of the death and the action taken by the police are awaited.
