VARANASI, April 19 -- A truck driver was arrested on Saturday for killing a man by crashing his truck into latter's car at Ghorwal-Khutahan bypass in December 2025, to avenge a murder, the Sonbhadra police said. Identified as Abhay Pal, the accused, is a resident of Raun Churk village. His relative Mangal Pal allegedly conspired with him to avenge the murder of his (Mangal's) only son, Anurag. During a briefing at the police lines, Sonbhadra, superintendent of police, Abhishek Verma, said that on March 5, 2023, Anurag, 9, the only son of Mangal Pal, was murdered after abduction. His body was subsequently recovered from the Mirzapur district. Rajesh Yadav, a resident of Pedh village itself, was identified as the prime accused in this incident. After Rajesh was released on bail, Mangal began plotting his murder. Police said that during interrogation, Abhay Pal, stated that Mangal Pal is his cousin. Driven by this animosity, Mangal Pal devised a plan to murder Rajesh Yadav. As part of this plan, Mangal Pal purchased an old truck from the Rajgarh area for Rs.4,30,000. He registered it in the name of an acquaintance, Rajkumar, and subsequently parked the vehicle at the residence of Abhay Pal. Abhay Pal disclosed that Mangal Pal informed him that Rajesh Yadav practices law at the Ghurawal Tehsil and commutes daily from his home to the Tehsil every morning. As per the plan, on December 8, 2025, Mangal Pal summoned Abhay Pal to the Khutaha Bypass, while he proceeded towards Pedh to provide updates on Rajesh Yadav's location. The moment Rajesh Yadav was spotted approaching the Tehsil in his Creta car, Abhay Pal rammed the truck into his vehicle and subsequently fled the scene on a motorcycle with an acquaintance. In this regard, based on a complaint by the deceased's brother, Dinesh Kumar Yadav, an FIR was registered under Sections 281, 61(2), 324(4), and 103(1) of the BNS. During the course of the investigation it came to light that the incident was, in fact, a murder committed as part of a premeditated conspiracy. Further investigation revealed the name of three people, including Mangal Pal and two others, said police. The SP said that teams have been deployed to ensure arrest of the two accused....
