According to the deceased's family members, Shivam used to study in a rented house in Danapur with his parents and had come to the village only four days ago.
The deceased's grandfather Devendra Singh said that on Sunday night he came to sleep in their room but went to another room saying that he will come after putting the mobile on charge, then when he did not come back, he thought that he might have slept in the same room, but in the morning his body was found outside the house.

There is an atmosphere of panic and anger in the village due to this tragic incident.
"A person named Shivam alias Bunty, was killed with a sharp weapon... FSL team has collected samples from the spot. The body is being sent for post-mortem and further investigation is ongoing... A conclusion will be reached only after collecting all evidence and facts. CCTV footage is being examined and we have spoken to the family members. The man was last seen at 11 pm last night... Prima facie, it appears to be a case of mutual conflict and the victim and the suspect may know each other," SP Bhanu Pratap Singh said.
In another incident, unidentified assailants shot a prisoner, who was admitted to a hospital in Patna for treatment, police said on Thursday.
The prisoner, Chandan Mishra, was out on parole on the grounds of required medical attention and was admitted to Paras Hospital for treatment, when unidentified assailants barged into the hospital and shot him, Patna SSP Kartikay Sharma said.
