A 32-year-old labourer was allegedly murdered on Diwali night in Barnala, with his naked body found near the tehsil complex on Monday morning, police said.
The deceased, identified as Bohri, was found with serious injuries to his head and face, apparently caused by blows from a stone. The circumstances in which his body was found have raised suspicion of foul play, prompting police to initiate an investigation.
According to preliminary information, some people from Uttar Pradesh alerted the police after noticing the body near the tehsil complex. Police personnel subsequently reached the spot and initiated proceedings. A forensic team was also called to the scene to collect evidence and examine the circumstances surrounding the murder.
