Assistant District Government
Advocate (Criminal) Amit Kumar Pathak on Friday said that Kartar Nath Tiwari, a resident of village Pipri Majha of Katra Bazar police station area of Gonda district, had lodged a complaint on February 20, 2017 that his brother Nirankar Nath Tiwari alias Mannulal had left the house in the morning and did not return.
At the same time, due to old enmity, Madhav Raj, three brothers Tribhuvan, Ram Shankar and Munna were waiting to attack Nirankar Nath Tiwari.
