Sonbhadra massacre caught on tape: First visuals show the chaos that claimed 10 lives

Sonbhadra massacre's first video has surfaced online and it can send chills down anyone's spine.

Ten tribals were killed and 28 injured on July 17 when they resisted an attempt by the village headman and his supporters to take possession of 90 bighas of disputed land in Sonbhadra district's Ghorawal area.

Twenty-four people have been arrested in connection with the clash over a land dispute in Sonbhadra.

The land in the district's Ghorawal area earlier belonged to an IAS officer and he had sold it to village head Yagya Dutt, who wanted to take its possession, Uttar Pradesh DGP O P Singh had told PTI. The victims were farming the disputed land for a long time but their names were not registered in the revenue record and the accused persons reached the said land for its possession in tractors, leading to the clash, the CM said.
