The agitated villagers set on fire the house of the accused who has been arrested by police. They said one Wali Mohammad Ahangar was attacked with a lathi by a shopkeeper, Mohammad Shafi Bhat, following a heated argument over some small issue in Patthan village in Pulwama yesterday. The injured was immediately taken to a local hospital from where he was referred to S K Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). However, Ahangar succumbed to his injuries in the hospital early today. Both of them were having a heated argument over some issue, so I intervened and tried to pacify things. When I tried to take Ahangar away from the spot, Bhat attacked me with a stick on the head. I was taken away by people present at the spot. Later I learned that Bhat had also attacked Ahangar, who was critically injured in the assault, Ahangars brother-in-law said. As the news of Ahangars death spread in the area, the villagers set on fire Bhats house and shop. Police have registered a case and initiated investigation into the incident, they said, adding the accused has been arrested.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
