Sundargarh: In a shocking incident, a youth was hacked to death for Rs 2,000 at Lamti village under Basasara police station of Odisha’s Sundargarh district.
The deceased has been identified as Rakendra Majhi (25) of Baradema village.
According the FIR lodged in connection with the crime, Rakendra had given Rs 2,000 to Bharuru to help him to go to work in Tamil Nadu. Although a long time had passed since then, Bharuru neither went to Tamil Nadu nor returned the money to Rakendra.
On Tuesday evening, Rakendra met Bharuru when the former went to his in-laws’ place in Lamati and asked him to repay the loan amount. Bharuru refused to return the money and attacked Rakendra with an axe injuring him grievously.
While two youths were taking a critically injured Rakendra to the hospital on a motorbike, they met with an accident on the way. Rakendra fell from the bike and died on the spot. The two, who were taking Rarkendra to hospital, sustained injuries and have been admitted to the hospital.
