Dharamshala: – A disturbing case of suspected murder has emerged from Garoh village, located on the outskirts of Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. A 45-year-old man named Vineet Kumar was discovered deceased under horrific conditions on Monday.

Initial reports from the police indicate that Kumar, a married individual and father of two sons, was found by his elder son lying in a pool of blood, suffering from severe injuries.
