Police Probe Land Dispute Angle in Shyam Kashyap Assault, Arrest One Accused

The recent assault on Congress leader Shyam Kashyap in Bilaspur has prompted a multi‑layered police investigation. CCTV footage from the vicinity of the Railway Hospital helped investigators identify masked attackers and led to the capture of Sahil Sonkar. Early leads point to a "supari" arrangement worth ten lakh rupees, suggesting a contract killing motive. Simultaneously, police are exploring a possible connection to an ongoing land dispute and a long‑standing personal rivalry that may have sparked the violence. Technical evidence and witness statements are being collated to map the entire criminal network.
