Indore police have arrested a 21-year-old for allegedly killing his 55-year-old former colleague, Shriram Rajput, at his father's restaurant. The victim, a halwai at Ruchi Restaurant, was allegedly assaulted with a metal rod procured from a friend's garage. The accused, Rahul Bhati, reportedly initiated a dispute on August 14, which escalated after Shriram's absence was noted.
Upon his refusal to return to work, Shriram was scolded by his father, who suspected theft. Rahul allegedly lured Shriram to the Ganganagar railway tracks, where he was fatally struck. Rahul called Shriram's wife and claimed he had killed her husband, demanding the body. The family staged a road blockade, demanding strict punishment and compensation. Police recovered the murder weapon, clothes, and motorcycle.
