Imphal, February 05, 2011:
In yet bizarre incident which defied family bonds, a man hacked his younger brother (cousin) at Mayang Imphal Thana Ani Longbi under Imphal West district today.
Khaidem Basanta (35) s/o Iboyaima hacked his cousin brother Khaidem Warjit (21) at a farm belonging to the latter at a place about 4 Kms away from their locality known as Khuman Yangbi this afternoon.
According to the local people, Warjit sustained grievous injuries and was rushed to Shija Hospitals.
It is reported that his left wrist is hanging by a slender connection.
He also sustained grievous injuries on the right wrist, left shoulder and the two thighs.
Basanta's father Iboyaima and Warjit's father are brothers and they lived adjacent to each other.
It is still unclear why Basanta attacked his cousin in such brutal manner.
But it is reported that Basanta started losing his mental balance sometime back.
A couple of days back, Basanta reportedly smashed the head of his own wife with a stone.
