New Delhi: While the horror of Bhagalpur police atrocity incident is yet to sink in, a very similar and an equally shocking case has been reported, this time from Gujarat.
In Salla village of Gujarat’s Banraskantha district, a young man was dragged to death after being tied to a tractor by relatives of a girl with whom he had allegedly eloped.
The incident took place on August 25 when the girl's family, upset over the alleged love affair between her and Ramesh Patel, barged into Patel’s house and forcibly dragged him outside.
Then, in broad daylight, they beat him, tied his feet to a tractor and dragged him till he succumbed.
Police officials say the men did not stop dragging Patel till he died.
Meanwhile, the two policemen accused of police brutality in Bhagalpur have been put under suspension with effect from Wednesday.
They have been charged of assaulting and dragging a chain-snatcher tied to their motorcycle two days ago.
They had tied the man's leg to a motorcycle and dragged him for several metres as he writhed in pain pleading for mercy. The incident had triggered a public outcry following which the errant policemen were placed under suspension.
