Mahasamund. (16:05): The body of a salesman, Manoj Tiwari, was found hanging from a tree in village Bindravan Londamuda Khar. Injury marks on his face and back suggest it was a murder, not suicide. Police suspect foul play.
Nearby, a car belonging to Tiwari was found vandalized, with a broken mirror. An empty liquor bottle and snacks were found nearby, indicating multiple people may have been involved.
Tiwari’s body was found in a neem tree, which villagers say is difficult to climb, especially in slippers. Tiwari was also involved in paddy business, besides his job as a salesman. There have been previous incidents related to the paddy mafia in the area, so the police are investigating all angles.
