Sheikh then allegedly hit him and banged him on the floor. The victim fell unconscious following excessive blooding. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead before admission, the official said.

The accused was later arrested under Indian Penal Code Section 302 (murder) and other relevant provisions, he said.
