According to the police, Raju Yadav and his friend Suman were part of a group eating at a mandi outlet in Ramnagar on Monday night. What began as a casual argument reportedly intensified, leaving Raju furious.

Still bearing grudge, Raju allegedly went to Suman’s house in Warasiguda on Tuesday and finding him asleep, he allegedly picked up a large stone and smashed it on Suman’s head.

Family members, who heard the commotion, rushed in to find Suman bleeding profusely. They immediately shifted him to the hospital. His condition is said to be critical.

Following a complaint from the victim’s family, police detained Raju Yadav and registered a case of attempted murder.

Investigators said preliminary interrogation suggests the attack was pre-planned and driven by anger from the previous night’s argument.
