Ahead of MP polls, sarpanch killed with arrows

Sarpanch Najru Bhil's body was found with nine arrows piercing his face, head and back. He died on the spot, Dhar SP Birendra Singh said, adding that the main accused was BJP's Sooraj Singh, who had lost to Najru in the last local body polls. Police have registered a case against Singh and 21 others. Political violence is very rare in MP. No one can remember the last time electoral rivalry led to a murder.
