Six people, including five of a family, were killed in a violent clash in Uttar Pradesh. The incident occurred in Deoria district, where two groups had long been embroiled in a property dispute. The conflict escalated when a village strongman, Prem Yadav, visited Satyaprakash Dubey’s residence to discuss their rivalry. However, during their conversation, a woman attacked Yadav with a sharp weapon, leading to his murder. Subsequently, upon learning of Yadav’s death, a large mob of his supporters stormed Dubey’s house and brutally killed him, as well as four other members of his family, including his wife and children.
