The Jaipur (East) deputy police commissioner (DCP), Tejaswini Gautam, said, “The incident took place at Jaipur’s Paldi Meena, Jamdoli area late on Sunday night. Prima facie, the victim Vipin Nayak and Anas had a longtime feud over some disputes regarding land and a shop.”

She said that Anans and his aides killed Vipin near his house when he was returning from his work. “Anas and eight other people arrived in three two-wheelers, they surrounded Vipin and engaged into a heated argument during which Anas took out a dagger and launched a brutal attack on Vipin. Soon after the incident, all the accused fled the spot while Vipin’s neighbours rushed him to the SMS Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,” she said.
