# 89-year-old hacked to death in Hisar, three booked 2026-08-18T00:31:10+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet An 89-year-old man was hacked to death by three motorcycle-borne assailants while sleeping outside his son's house in Talwandi Rukka village, Hisar, late Saturday night. The deceased, Mahabir, was attacked with sharp-edged weapons and died from multiple injuries. His family heard his screams but could not intervene before the attackers fled. The Azad Nagar police have registered a case against three unidentified individuals under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigators are analysing viral video footage to identify the suspects. Police are probing whether the killing is linked to the inter-caste marriage of Mahabir's grandson, Naresh, who married a woman from the Bishnoi community and has since gone into hiding with her. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
