CPI Leader Chandu Naik Killed During Morning Walk, Land Dispute Suspected

In a shocking incident, K Chandu Naik, a local CPI leader, was shot dead during his morning walk. His wife, Nari Bai, witnessed the alleged killer, identified as Rajesh, near their house just moments before the tragic event. She expressed her concern to her husband about Rajesh’s presence, fearing a potential confrontation.

Land Dispute Believed to be the Motive

Authorities believe the motive behind the killing stems from a simmering land dispute. Allegedly, Rajesh had been collecting money from hut dwellers in the area, a practice that Chandu Naik strongly opposed. This disagreement is believed to have escalated, leading to the fatal confrontation.

Wife Witnesses Suspect Before Tragedy

Nari Bai’s account of seeing Rajesh near their home shortly before her husband’s murder has become a crucial piece of evidence for the investigation. Her warning to Chandu Naik underscores the tension that existed between the two men.
