In a swift and decisive operation, the Krishnanagar Police apprehended three individuals accused in the brutal murder of Akash Diwakar, a resident of Kevadaji's Chali, Gokulnagar, within hours of the incident. The attack occurred late on November 19 and extended into the early hours of November 20.

Akash Diwakar was assaulted with sticks and sharp objects by the accused in Gokulnagar. The complaint was lodged by the victim’s Brother Vishal Diwakar, who stated in his complaint that caste-based slurs were hurled during the assault. The victim, grievously injured, succumbed to his wounds in the early hours of Friday while undergoing treatment at a local hospital.

According to police officials, the attack stemmed from a six-month-old dispute between the accused and the victim. The accused, identified as Sonusingh Tomar (32), Shekhar Singh Tomar, and Yogesh Mathur (35), allegedly held a grudge against Akash over a prior altercation.

On Tuesday night, the accused, already present in the Gokulnagar area, instigated a fight when Akash arrived. They insulted him, provoked a confrontation, and subsequently attacked him with sticks and a sharp object before fleeing the scene.

A team was formed by Krishnanagar police to trace the accused, leading to their arrest on Thursday afternoon. The police also seized the weapons used in the attack as part of the investigation.

The accused, Sonusingh Tomar and Shekhar Singh Tomar, residents of Thakkarnagar, and Yogesh Mathur, a resident of Krishnanagar, are currently in police custody.

Further investigation is underway to determine the precise sequence of events and establish additional motives behind the crime.
