Tension prevailed in Parauri village in the district after body of a 30-year-old man was recovered from an orchard here today, police said.
Ram Kishore, father of the deceased, accused one Imran and five others of the same village of killing his son Raghuraj, who he claimed had helped a girl in lodging a complaint against them for molesting her on Monday.
An FIR was lodged against Imran and five others.
