Jammu, July 4: A heartbreaking incident has emerged from Ghazia village in the Miran Sahib area of Jammu district, where a former Naib Sarpanch allegedly lost his life after being attacked by his two nephews in a dispute over ancestral land.
The deceased, identified as Satender Kumar alias Bittu, sustained critical injuries in the attack and was first rushed to the Sub-District Hospital, Bishnah. As his condition deteriorated, he was referred to Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
