Patna, June 28 : A youth in Bihar’s Araria district was brutally beaten to death by villagers on Monday morning.

The district police have arrested two of the alleged attackers. The deceased’s father has levelled allegations against 18 persons for this brutal act.

Ismyle’s father Soyab Khan claimed that his son went to Chakai village to buy milk.

“We have a lane (Gali) dispute with a person named Domar Yadav. They levelled false allegations against my son. They killed my son in a pre-planned manner to take revenge for the lane dispute,” Khan said.

“Ismyle had a criminal history and served a jail term in the past. On Monday, he was escaping after a theft bid in the house of one Domar Yadav. The local villagers spotted him and managed to overpower him,” the DSP said.(IANS)
