The Colva police have arrested three persons — Sanjay Manjhi, Asish Kumar and Jagnandan Sidar, all natives of Chhattisgarh — for allegedly killing Shshi Lakra.
Police informed that during dinner onboard the fishing trawler, a quarrel ensued after the deceased, Shshi Lakra, allegedly placed his leg in the food plate of the accused, namely Jagnandan Sidar. Following the altercation, all three accused persons, acting with common intention, assaulted the deceased using a sharp object and caused a grievous cut injury on the left side of his neck, resulting in his instantaneous death.
