The sadhu was killed by an axe following an argument between the victim and the accused.
Giri, after allegedly killing his friend in a fit of rage by slitting his throat and later burning the hut, went to the police station to report the fire. He claimed that some miscreants had set fire to the hut in which his friend was killed.
