Both the victim and the accused belong to a tribal community, officials said on Friday, adding that the victim's former father-in-law and his family members are the accused in the case.
"As soon as the information was received, the Superintendent of Police (SP) along with the Deputy SP and other police officer immediately reached the spot," they said.
