Slapped mother in 2015; Youngster's revenge rivals a movie script

LUCKNOW: A plot that could rival a cheesy Bollywood movie took place in real life in Lucknow. Sonu Kashyap (21), Ranjit, Adil, Salamu and Rahmat Ali have been arrested in the case.

The story of revenge came to light after the murder of a 32-year-old man in the Kalyanpur area on May 22. Sonu and his friends thrashed the man to death using an iron rod near Manmeet dairy farm in Kalyanpur. The deceased Manoj had publicly assaulted Sonu's mother in 2015 and slapped her. Sonu was only 11 years old at that time. After the incident, Manoj left the country. Sonu searched for Manoj to avenge the insult to his mother, but could not find him. After a long time, Sonu met Manoj again in the Munshi Pulia area of the city about three months ago.

He carefully observed and understood Manoj's daily activities, and slowly started to prepare a plan. He also brought his friends with him. On May 22, Manoj, who was walking alone after closing his shop, was attacked by the five friends. Manoj, who suffered serious injuries, died while undergoing treatment.

Although the images of the accused were captured on CCTV, the police were unable to trace them. Meanwhile, Sonu hosted a lavish liquor party for his friends as a reward for their cooperation in the murder. The pictures went viral on social media. Police took note of the photos from social media and then identified the accused.
