Man battered to death over garba contest in Porbandar

A dispute, allegedly over the awarding of prizes at a garba event has led to the murder of a 40-year-old man in Porbandar, Gujarat. He was reportedly beaten to death by the organisers of a ‘garba’ function in Gujarat after he argued with them because his 11-year-old daughter claimed that she was given one prize despite winning two. 

According to the FIR lodged by the local Police, the victim Sarman Odedara was allegedly attacked with sticks and other blunt objects by seven men around 2 a.m. on October 24 near Krishna Park Society in Porbandar 

“We have arrested all seven accused involved in the murder of Odedara,” said Ruth Raba, DySP, Porbandar. She added that further investigation was underway.
