After receiving information, the police reached the spot and detained one Dubaraj Pradhan in the neighbourhood of the deceased.
According to police sources, 67-year-old Tularam Nayak of Kuanramal village under Dharuadihi police limits was working near his house when his neighbour Dubaraj Pradhan reached the spot with a scythe.
