Two weeks ago, two elderly men, Badri Shukla, 68, and his brother Ramsevak Shukla, 65, were shot dead over a land dispute in Damoh district. The men had bought three acres of land in 2021. Since then, there was a dispute with the family of the accused.
On February 28, the Singhs wanted to take their tractor from the fields of the Shuklas, but the family refused, the police said. Shortly after, Jahar Singh, Umaid Singh, Makhan Singh and Arjun Singh reached Shuklas' home and shot them dead.
After investigating the case, the local police brought in a bulldozer today and razed the crops on the Singhs' land. Sources said the Singhs had apparently grabbed government land. The family had also taken possession of part of the government school building and a borewell in the village, the police said.
