BHOPAL: In a significant breakthrough, Katni Police have dispelled initial claims of a communal motive behind the brutal daylight murder of BJP's 'Pichda Morcha Mandal' head, Neelu (Nilesh) Rajak.
Contrary to early allegations linking the killing to "love jihad", investigators have uncovered a complex web of personal enmity and business rivalry as the true cause.
Rajak, 38, a prominent Bajrang Dal activist and labour contractor, was shot dead near a bank in Kymore on October 28, around 11 a.m.
Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the crime, revealing a two-month-old dispute that escalated fatally.
