A Head Constable in Gujarat who had been investigating a case of physical altercation between some young migrant workers from Bihar over a Facebook post, received a call early on Monday morning.ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEOThe doctor from Rajkot Civil Hospital informed him that the complainant in his case, 20-year-old Prince Kumar Anil Bhind, was dead.Upon receiving the news of Prince’s death, the Head Constable, who works for the Bhaktinagar police station in Rajkot city, immediately informed a Sub Inspector. The PSI,too, was stunned.A police official involved in the investigation told The Indian Express, “When the FIR was filed, we had asked the doctor about the extent of the injury and were told that it was not serious and Prince himself was fully conscious. The Head Constable was taking updates from the hospital every two to three days. The short report from the hospital says that the cause of death is the injury, but it might be infection, because four days before his death, Prince had to be moved to the ICU and had become unresponsive. More details will be available after the result of his post mortem.”A local court granted Bhaktinagar police permission to add BNS section 103(1) for murder to the FIR. Shortly thereafter, on Monday night, Bipinkumar Rajinder Gond, the main accused, was placed under arrest. On Tuesday, Gond was produced in court. The police are still looking for co-accused Brijesh Gond.This was an unexpected development in a case where the accused, who were also 20-year-old migrant workers from Prince’s village — had just been served summons notices under section 35(3) of the BNSS in the case, and not been arrested.Police officials said that the accused, who had no prior criminal antecedents, had even answered the summons notice, and had deposited the knife they allegedly used to the police station.Story continues below this adSection 35(3) of the BNSS states that a police officer can issue a notice to a person for appearance if a reasonable complaint or suspicion exists for a cognisable offense, but the officer believes arrest is not necessary.The FIR, filed on September 12, on the basis of a complaint from Prince himself while under treatment at the hospital, had sought for the accused to be booked under BNS sections 118(1) (voluntarily causing hurt), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), 54 (abettor present) and section 135 of the GP Act for carrying a weapon, all sections in which the punishment is under 7 years of imprisonment.The FIR states that Prince, a native of Purushottampur village of Kaimur (Bhabua) district in Bihar, worked in a factory in Rajkot city with three of his cousins. When his grandfather Rupnarayan Bhind passed away about four months before, he had posted a Facebook story about it.“Bipinkumar Rajinder Gond, a resident of his own village, had replied to the Facebook story with a laughing emoji, leading to a verbal spat between the two over a phone call,” stated the FIR, adding that they allegedly had more arguments in the following days.Story continues below this adAt around 12:30 am on September 12, while Prince was sitting in an auto rickshaw outside his factory, he saw Bipinkumar Rajinder Gond approaching and so he started walking back to the factory, the FIR alleges. It further alleges that Brijesh Gond came in front of him, caught hold of him and issued death threats because of the frequent arguments.Bipinkumar Gond then allegedly attacked him with the knife, and both allegedly fled when Prince shouted for help.His co-workers arrived and took him first to the nearest private hospital, and from there to Rajkot Civil Hospital.Speaking to The Indian Express, Inspector M M Sarvaiya of Bhaktinagar police station said, “Prince suffered a knife stab across his back which was about 1.5 to 2 inches deep. He was normal and talking in the hospital and he himself had given the complaint against the accused. He died on September 22 morning.”Story continues below this adPrince Kumar Bhind died at about 2:30 am and the police were informed at about 6:35 am.
