Temple Trustee Beaten to Death by Drunk Watchman in Indore

A 70-year-old temple trustee, identified as Kailash Modi, was beaten to death in Indore's Annapurna area on Tuesday morning. The attack occurred around 5:30 am when Modi attempted to stop temple watchman Mukesh Sharma from entering the temple while intoxicated. Sharma allegedly struck Modi with a stick over 31 times after being reprimanded.

When Modi tried to flee, Sharma pursued and continued the assault, striking him on the head, arms and legs. Modi attempted to seek refuge in a nearby Gurudwara, but Sharma followed and continued attacking him. Police said Sharma, who was addicted to alcohol and frequently caused disturbances, is now in custody. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced.
