What did the police say?
According to Madhya Pradesh police, Rajput died before reaching the hospital. The main accused is a 27-year-old man, Ranu alias Rahul, Itarsi SHO RS Chauhan said, adding that all three, including one Ankit Bhat and one Ishu Malviya, have been arrested. Officials suspect an old rivalry as the motive for the crime. Additionally, Rajput's friend Patel is in critical condition.
MP government demolishes accused man's home
Meanwhile, following a pattern of 'bulldozer justice', MP government demolished Bhat's home. Citing encroachment, his home was demolished in the presence of Madan Raghuvanshi (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) and Mahendra Chauhan (Sub-Divisional Police Officer). As per reports, the homes of the other two accused will also be demolished. Earlier this year, the MP government followed a similar pattern and demolished the homes of riot-accused in Khargone.

A similar incident took place earlier this week when Abhishek Malviya, a bank employee, was beaten by a few criminals in the same area. While at the police station, BJP MLA Dr. Sitasharan Sharma expressed his displeasure over rising crimes in the city.
