According to police, Pandit who was sleeping on his bed at home may have been hammered to death and attacked at different body parts by a perpetrator in vengeance.
Son of the deceased, Rajesh, had gone to get his father up when he found him lying in a pool of blood on his bed in a hut, at around 6:30 am today, according to Superintendent of Police (SP) Ravi Raj Khadka at Gaur-based Rautahat District Police Office (DPO). Subsequently, the neighbours gathered and called police.
The wounds and cuts at different parts of the body show that Pandit may have been hammered on his face before being tortured with cuts from a sharp weapon, a team of police on onsite inspection presumed.

बाबुको हत्या आरोपमा युवक पक्राउ
आफ्नै बाबुको हत्या गरेको आरोपमा प्रहरीले एक युवकलाई पक्राउ गरेको छ ।
गत २८ माघमा रौतहटको दुर्गा भगवती गाँउपालिका ३ पर्सा टोलका ७० वर्षका फेकन पण्डित कुम्हारको सुतिरहेको अवस्थामा हत्या भएको थियो ।
गाइबस्तु बाँध्ने गोठसँगै रहेको छाप्रोमा सुतेका फेकनको अनुहार, टाउको र छातीमा हतौडाले हानिएको र धारिलो हतियारले अनुहार र घाँटी काटिएको अवस्थामा शव भेटिएको थियो ।
प्रहरीले हत्या आरोपमा फेकनका छोरा २५ वर्षका राजकुमार पण्डितलाई पक्राउ गरेको छ । उनले हत्या आरोप स्वीकारेका छन् ।
आफ्नी पत्नीसँग आपत्तिजनक अवस्थामा देखेपछि रिस थाम्न नसकी बाबुको हत्या गरेको अभियुक्तले बताएका रौतहटका प्रहरी उपरीक्षक रविराज खड्काले बताए ।
राति ३ बजे बाबुको हत्या गरेपछि राजकुमारले पुनः घर आएर कपडा फेरेर गोठमा गएका थिए । उनले बिहान ५ बजे बाबुको हत्या भएको भन्दै गाउँले र प्रहरीलाई खबर गरेका थिए ।
पक्राउ परेका पण्डितलाई मुलुकी अपराध संहिता २०७४ को ज्यान सम्बन्धी कसुर अन्र्तगतको मुद्दामा अनुसन्धान गर्न जिल्ला अदालतबाट अनुमति लिएको प्रहरीले जनाएको छ ।
