"The prime accused identified as Bali Jaal along with two others allegedly stabbed Dharmaraj Sonani to death under inebriated condition. The accused persons along with Dharmaraj and a friend Vickky boozed together," said Durg Superintendent of Police (SP) Dr Abhishek Pallava. The murder took place near Ruabandha Panthi Chowk under Bhilai Nagar police station on Tuesday night, the SP added.
