ALIGARH (UP): In Jawā town late Saturday night, men belonging to another community brutally murdered a 19-year-old youth with a knife.
According to police accounts and residents, the assailants dragged the victim into a dilapidated house, mercilessly beat him, and then executed him in a grisly fashion — first severing his neck, and then inflicting multiple stab and slash wounds across his chest and body.
By early hours, the police had arrested eight suspects in connection with the murder. But when news of the killing spread on Sunday morning, public outrage boiled over.
For nearly ten hours, residents of Jawā blocked roads, staged protests from the local police station to the Anupshahr–Moradabad highway, and demanded that the houses of the accused be bulldozed.
The police, including SSP Neeraj Kumar Jadon and other senior officers, rushed to the scene to bring the situation under control. Authorities promised the victim’s family reparations in the form of a house, a government job, and stern action against the culprits.
The victim, identified as Karan, was a resident of Sikandarpur in Jawā and had been working as a laborer in Noida. He had returned home from Noida late Saturday night, only to be killed in a heinous, premeditated attack.
By Sunday morning, tensions had reached a critical level. Locals shuttered their shops in protest. The crowd repeatedly gathered before the local police station and twice surged onto the highway.
Their central demand: the demolition of the accused’s homes. To appease the protesters, the authorities measured the properties of the suspects and even arranged for a bulldozer to be brought to the site.
After hours of agitated protests, the police eventually managed to calm the crowd and restore order.
