A petty argument between two natives of Jharkhand, who were said to be under the influence of liquor at Periudok, Sanvordem, ended in murder.
As per information given by PI Ravindra Dessai of Curchorem police station, they received a complaint from one Sapnadevi Johra that between 11.30 pm of Saturday and 10 am of Sunday Laljit Jhora, 31, resident of Jharkhand assaulted her brother Sanju Jhora, 21, also a resident of Jharkhand, with stones near Subhash bar at Periudok, Sanvordem.
It is learnt that a group of labourers who had attended a religious function stopped at Subhash bar for a few drinks. A petty scuffle between the two co-workers went out of hand and ended up in the assault of Sanju Jhora.
Sanju, who was badly injured, was taken to Curchorem Health Centre in a 108 ambulance. He was referred to Hospicio in Margao from where he was shifted to Goa Medical College and Hospital in Bambolim in a critical condition. He breathed his last at around 5.30 pm.
PI Ravindra Dessai informed that they had initially registered a complaint under Sec 307 of IPC for attempt to murder. He said they did not reveal the death of Sanju to prevent the accused from fleeing the State. He was arrested and brought to the police station. The stone used in the assult has been attached.
PI Dessai informed that the accused has been booked for murder and will be produced in court on Monday.
