In a chilling development, a video purportedly posted on social media shows one of the accused claiming responsibility for the killing, stating that he would be jailed for some time. The victim’s family suspects prior personal enmity may have led to the attack.
Nitesh’s mother said, “Accused called him out of the house and took him behind it, where they stabbed him to death. They even recorded a video of my son being killed.” His father added, “Around 9:30 pm, when I went to rescue my son, he told me to go back home. Later, I was informed that he had been killed. I believe there must have been some enmity between them that led to this.” Both parents said Nitesh worked as a construction laborer, like his father.
Police confirmed that an altercation between Nitesh and Karan escalated into a violent assault. Investigation is ongoing, with authorities looking into the motive and the role of all accused.
The family has demanded strict legal action and justice for Nitesh’s brutal murder, emphasizing the need for the culprits to face the harshest punishment.
