The village of Dangri in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district has remained tense since a 50-year-old farmer was murdered earlier this week, allegedly after he tried to stop people from hunting deer.
According to police, Khet Singh was attacked with sharp weapons while he was sleeping in his field on the night of September 2. Seriously injured, he lay unattended the entire night until village residents found him in the morning and rushed him to the Fatehgarh government hospital. Doctors later referred him to Barmer in critical condition, where he died during treatment.
Jaisalmer SP Abhishek Shivhare said that three accused, Ladu Khan, Alam Khan and Khete Khan, have been detained and their vehicle seized.

Following the murder, angry villagers set fire to four cabins, including a tyre tube shop linked to the accused. Police immediately deployed personnel in the area, erected barricades and restricted the entry of outsiders to maintain peace. The SP appealed to villagers to remain indoors and warned against spreading misinformation online, saying that strict action would be taken against those trying to disturb communal harmony.
The victim’s brother, Swaroop Singh, has lodged a complaint at Sangar police station, saying that 10 days ago, Ladu Khan and Alam Khan had come armed with guns to hunt deer and argued with Khet Singh when he opposed them. Swaroop alleged that the same men, along with accomplices, attacked and killed his brother on September 2.
Police said the situation in Dangri village remains tense but under control as of Saturday.
