Bhopal/Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A murder over an eight-bigha land dispute has surfaced in Kanadiya. The land belonged to a farmer’s family, divided among four brothers and two sisters. It was given to four individuals for farming, but they later claimed ownership. The deceased, Baboolal Parmar, had filed a complaint with the collector regarding the issue.
On March 27, Baboolal’s body was found near the boundary of a field in Saligam. Police sent the body for post-mortem, which confirmed murder. Following an investigation, five accused were arrested. Reports suggest that Baboolal was killed after he refused to settle the dispute.
According to information, the land, originally registered under Baboolal’s father, was shared among his siblings. It was handed over to Man Singh Parihar, Ghanshyam Parihar, and Lalchand Hirasat. However, they allegedly sold it to a builder named Anoop. During the probe, police found that Baboolal’s relatives, Vikram Malviya and Mukesh Madlai, had last seen him. Later, three others intercepted him, threatened him, and brutally assaulted him, leading to fatal head injuries.
The murder was linked to a financial disagreement. The accused were offering ₹35 lakh to settle the dispute, but Baboolal demanded ₹1.5 crore. Frustrated, they planned and executed his murder. The police have arrested all five accused and further investigations are underway.
