One of the accused strangled Hansraj to death, ASP Agarwal stated. The family members of the deceased and villagers staged a protest following the incident with Hansraj’s body. They reportedly blocked the national highway in the area and demanded compensation of ₹50 lakh for Hansraj’s family, besides immediate arrest of the accused. Later, they were pacified by police who assured them of taking appropriate action.
