Rohit Rajbhar, a 25-year-old man from Chandwak, was brutally murdered near Basantpur village in Varanasi district, Uttar Pradesh, India, on Tuesday night. His body was discovered by locals the following morning. Rohit had attended a wedding on May 5, where he reportedly had an argument with some individuals. Family members claim that he was ambushed by attackers who beat him with sticks and crushed his face with a stone. They allege that the murder was premeditated, citing recent death threats received by Rohit on social media platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. In response to the incident, angry villagers and family members staged a protest, blocking traffic and demanding ₹2 crore in compensation and a government job for a family member. Police officials, including Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Nripendra, confirmed that a case has been registered and investigations are underway, including reviewing CCTV footage and examining the victim's social media accounts for threats.
