The victim Upendra Pandey who was physically challenged was alone in the house when the unidentified miscreants set his house on fire, killing him on the spot.
“I had gone to the town to bring medicines for him on Tuesday night. When I returned home on Wednesday morning, I found his half-burnt body lying on the bed,” victim’s wife Chinta Devi told the police after the incident.
