In a tragic turn of events, a 30-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death by his in-laws in Jharkhand's Giridih district. The incident follows accusations that he had murdered his wife, according to police reports on Thursday.

The violent episode unfolded late Wednesday in Lukaiya village under the jurisdiction of the Mufassil Police Station.
