Three juveniles detained at an observation and juvenile home in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district allegedly killed a 63-year-old security guard, Sahab Ram, by beating him to death with a wooden plank on Wednesday evening, according to police reports. The incident occurred during preparations for Independence Day celebrations. Ram, who lived in Ambe Vihar Colony, suffered severe head injuries and died on the spot.
The juveniles were in custody for two murder cases and one under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

The motive behind the killing remains unclear, and an investigation is underway.
Forensic Science Laboratory experts have collected evidence from the crime scene. Police have been questioning the juveniles, and CCTV footage is being reviewed to piece together the events leading up to the attack. Top officials have visited the location and are gathering information from the child rights department responsible for managing the juvenile home.
