Fatehpur: Panic spread through Akhri village on Tuesday after a Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader, his son, and brother were shot dead following a quarrel that escalated into a fatal confrontation.<\/p>\n
The deceased have been identified as Pappu Singh (50), the district president of the BKU, his son Abhay Singh (22), and his younger brother Pinku Singh (45), police said.<\/p>\n
Inspector General of Police Prem Kumar Gautam said the incident began with a verbal spat after former village head Suresh Kumar alias Munnu asked Pappu Singh to move his tractor, which was blocking the road.<\/p>\n
The situation turned violent when Suresh Kumar\u2019s sons and their accomplices intervened and allegedly opened indiscriminate fire, killing the three on the spot.<\/p>\n
Gautam said he would visit the village to assess the situation. A senior police official added that Suresh Kumar and his sons, who reportedly had an old political rivalry with the victims, have been taken into custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
