A man was run over by a tractor after a clash over a land dispute in Rajasthan`s Bharatpur on Wednesday, following which his younger brother was arrested in connection with the case for conspiracy, police said. Victim Nirpat Gurjar`s brother Damodar Gurjar conspired to kill him as he wanted to falsely implicate the other party in the long pending land dispute, Bharatpur Superintendent of Police Mridul Kachhawa said in a statement. The role of other family members is also being investigated, he said, adding that the dispute was between Bahadur Gurjar and Nirpat`s father Atar Singh Gurjar, both residents of Adda village.
On Wednesday morning, the two parties came face to face and attacked each other, Bayana Sadar SHO Jaiprakash Parmar said. After the clash, five people were detained, police said, adding that Damodar Gurjar was subsequently taken into custody and interrogated, during which he confessed. Earlier, Director General of Police Umesh Mishra had directed Superintendent of Police Kachhawa to keep a close watch on the investigation. SHO Parmar said even before this incident, there was a fight between the two families and both the parties had filed cases against each other. The BJP slammed the Congress over the murder and demanded AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra apologise for the incident on behalf of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
