They also attacked Yadav’s family with axes and sticks, injuring at least six. Saraswati and Rupendra died on the spot while the injured were admitted to a hospital in Bina Town, said police. “The families fought over a month ago, but later, both families compromised. To take revenge, the other party attacked our family. The police came about two hours after the incident. There was not even an ambulance with them. My mother and uncle died due to a delay in treatment,” said Dashrath Yadav, Saraswati’s son. All the accused are absconding, and a search is on to nab them, police said.
