Satna Murder Case: History-Sheeter Shoots Farmer Dead With 5 Bullets, Son Seriously Injured in Revenge Attack
A shocking Satna murder case has surfaced from Madhya Pradesh where a history-sheeter criminal allegedly shot a farmer dead and injured his son in a revenge attack. The brutal incident took place in Barapathar village under Nagod police station area on Wednesday evening, creating panic among local residents.
According to police officials, the accused fired five bullets at the farmer, leading to his death due to excessive blood loss. Shortly after the killing, the attackers also opened fire on the victim’s son, leaving him seriously injured.
Farmer Shot Dead in Barapathar Village
The victim has been identified as Abhay alias Bablu Yadav (50), a farmer from Barapathar village in Satna district. Police said the accused, history-sheeter Chandan Yadav, along with several accomplices, carried out the attack around 9:30 PM.
Investigators revealed that the accused fired indiscriminately at Abhay while he was walking on the terrace of his house.
Post-incident details revealed the severity of the attack:
Two bullets hit the farmer’s back
One bullet struck his stomach
One bullet hit his neck
One bullet struck his ribs
Due to the critical injuries and massive blood loss, Abhay Yadav died on the spot before receiving medical assistance.
Son Targeted in Second Attack
After killing the farmer, the attackers reportedly went to the grocery store run by his 25-year-old son, Rana Yadav, located about a kilometer from the village.
The accused fired multiple rounds at him as well. Rana attempted to escape by running away from the shop but two bullets struck his right leg, leaving him seriously injured.
Family members rushed him to Civil Hospital Nagod, from where he was later referred to Satna District Hospital. He is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Satna.
Police sources confirmed that after the shooting, the accused allegedly called the victim’s younger son and threatened to kill the entire family.
Revenge Motive Behind the Crime
According to preliminary police investigation, the Satna murder case appears to be the result of a revenge dispute.
Officials said that earlier on Wednesday evening, Sharad Yadav, the younger brother of the accused, was allegedly abusing villagers. During the argument, Abhay Yadav scolded him and slapped him twice.
Enraged by the humiliation, Sharad reportedly contacted his brother Chandan Yadav and asked him to take revenge. Later that night, Chandan arrived in the village with around five accomplices and carried out the deadly shooting.
Accused History-Sheeter Absconding
Police confirmed that Chandan Yadav is a history-sheeter with multiple criminal cases already registered against him.
Investigators also revealed that:
He was released from jail on one-month parole in December 2025
He failed to surrender after the parole period ended
Police had already been searching for him before the murder incident
Following the shooting, the accused and his associates fled the scene.
Police Launch Manhunt
After receiving information, Nagod police station in-charge Ashok Pandey reached the spot with a team. The farmer’s body was sent for post-mortem, and multiple police teams have now been deployed to arrest the accused.
Authorities have also increased police presence in Barapathar village to prevent further tensions.
Police sources added that the deceased Abhay Yadav also had several criminal cases registered against him, including two murder cases, and had previously been jailed.
Investigation Ongoing
The Satna murder case has once again raised concerns over the activities of history-sheeter criminals and parole monitoring. Police officials say they are conducting raids in nearby areas to trace the accused and his accomplices.
Authorities have assured that the culprits will be arrested soon as the investigation continues.
