Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi has termed the media reports that a 70-year-old man was beheaded in Darbhanga for naming a town square "Narendra Modi chowk," as baseless and irresponsible. He said that the property dispute between the accused and the victim led to the murder.
"Totally false that the murder in Darbhanga case was due to naming Modi Chowk. It was a case of land dispute. The board was put long back, murder has nothing to do with board," Sushil Modi tweeted on Friday night.
In a shocking incident, a person was attacked by 40-50 men on bikes and killed in Bihar's Darbhanga district. The Bihar police also said that it was due to an old land dispute and had no connection with naming of chowk.
