A 28-year-old man was thrashed to death by two persons over a dispute regarding a ration card.
Vijay Bhagade had on September 19 tried to enquire about his father-in-law's ration card being allegedly taken away by a person in Gurav Pada hamlet of Palghar's Vikramgadh taluka, assistant police inspector at Vikramgadh Police Station Sunil Nandvalkar said today.
