Teenager murdered in Pilibhit over family rivalry

A 16-year-old boy named Puranlal, also known as Sagar, was abducted and murdered in Pilibhit due to a long-standing rivalry. His dismembered body was found in a sack under a bridge on March 14, days after he went missing. Police arrested three suspects on March 15 and recovered the weapon used in the crime. The suspects confessed to the murder, which stemmed from previous conflicts with the victim's family. The victim's family had reported ongoing harassment from the accused, including a prior assault over a motorcycle noise dispute. Despite previous complaints, police had not acted against the suspects before this incident.
