A young man was killed by criminals in broad daylight in Bihar’s Nawada area by repeatedly stabbing him. They poured chilli powder into his eyes and assaulted him thirty times in a row with a knife. The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Rahul Kumar, a resident of Postmortem Road Shivnagar Mohalla in the Nagar police station area. He was the only son of Vasudev Prasad and his mother Savitri Devi is employed at Mandal Kara jail as a Home Guard jawan.
