Sambhal, October 9: In a disturbing incident, a deaf and mute person brutally murdered a vegetable vendor by slitting his throat in Sambhal. The attack, rooted in a longstanding rivalry, occurred after a confrontation between the two men over harassment allegations involving the vendor's sister. Following an escalating conflict, the accused allegedly sought revenge for public humiliation after being slapped multiple times. On October 3, authorities discovered the vendor's body, prompting an immediate investigation.

According to a report by the Times of India, the deceased, Jaswant Diwakar, was found with his throat slit in a village under the Baniather police station. Investigators learned that the altercation began when Jaswant confronted the accused, Jitendra Kumar, regarding his inappropriate behaviour towards Jaswant's sister. Tensions escalated, leading to a physical confrontation that resulted in Jaswant slapping Jitendra multiple times, which the latter viewed as a significant affront. Sambhal: 3 Youths Dance in Middle of Road at Shankar Chowk in Uttar Pradesh To Make Reel, 1 Arrested After Video Goes Viral.

Concerned, they notified the authorities, who subsequently questioned Jitendra and connected him to the crime. Sambhal Shocker: 22-Year-Old Man Allegedly Shot Dead by 3 Miscreants in Broad Daylight in Uttar Pradesh, Video Surfaces.
