Investigators revealed that all three individuals were originally from Bihar and had come to the city in search of employment. They were employed as daily wage labourers and were staying together in a temporary shelter set up within the hospital’s storage premises, highlighting their difficult living and working conditions in the city.According to the First Information Report (FIR), the conflict began over scrap material found at their workplace. Police stated that Yadav had allegedly concealed some discarded wire, which led to suspicion and tension between him and Raut. The disagreement soon intensified into a heated argument late at night. The confrontation reportedly occurred between 12:15 am and 12:30 am on March 30, when emotions escalated and the situation spiralled out of control, eventually leading to a violent and fatal outcome inside the confined space where they were residing.During the altercation, Raut allegedly lost control and attacked Yadav with a hammer in a sudden outburst of anger. The assault caused critical injuries, and Yadav collapsed at the scene, succumbing to the attack instantly. Following the incident, authorities were alerted about the presence of a blood-covered body in the storage room. The Kalachowki police quickly arrived at the location, secured the area, and initiated an investigation. The victim’s body was later sent for post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death and gather further forensic evidence.Based on the complaint filed by Rohitkumar Bablu Singh, who was present at the time of the incident, the police registered a case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Officials confirmed that the accused, Ramjikumar Raut, was arrested after preliminary findings indicated that the murder stemmed from a dispute over scrap items.
