A 22-year-old youth was allegedly abducted, brutally assaulted and killed in a shocking incident reported from the Khuhdi police station area of Jaisalmer district on Tuesday. The deceased has been identified as Mahavir Singh, son of Gordhan Singh and a resident of Myajlar village.
According to police and eyewitness accounts, Mahavir Singh and his companion were travelling on a motorcycle when several vehicles allegedly rammed into their bike near Asloi village at around 3 pm. Following the collision, both men were abducted and taken away in a Camper vehicle.
