RAJKOT: A 38-year-old married man in
Jamnagar was killed by a family of farm labourers from
Chhota Udepur on Saturday night for having an illicit relationship with a woman in the family.
The deceased Mahavirsinh Jadeja developed a relationship with Nani Baraiya Nayak during his frequent visits to his friend Viram Gamara’s farm at Khimani Sanosara village in
Kalavad taluka. Nani and her family members live and work at the farm.
When Nani’s parents learnt about her relationship with Jadeja, they asked her to call him on Saturday night by saying that she would be alone at home.
When Jadeja went to meet her, her parents and sister-in-law tied Jadeja to a banyan tree and beat him mercilessly. A man in the neighbouring farm saw them beating Jadeja, freed him but he was declared brought dead by doctors.
