Basti: A 50-year-old advocate, Chandrashekhar Yadav, was allegedly kidnapped, assaulted, and crushed to death using a vehicle in Basti district, police reported on Sunday. Yadav was representing his sister in her divorce case.
According to officials, Yadav was abducted on Saturday while returning home on his bike from a 'Thana Samadhan Diwas' event in Kaptanganj. The accused intercepted him near Narayanpur village in a Scorpio vehicle.
Superintendent of Police Abhinandan stated that the advocate’s estranged brother-in-law, Ranjeet Yadav, and his brother Sandeep Yadav, orchestrated the crime due to a financial dispute in the divorce settlement.
