Digital Desk: Four men reportedly thrashed a 33-year-old Dalit in Ghoshgarh village in Bilaspur district so badly that he died the next day, police said on Thursday.
On Tuesday night, the suspects beat the victim with sticks and then left him outside his house. While receiving treatment, he passed away on Wednesday night.
As per the police, the victim, Inder Kumar, ran a grocery store from his house in Ghoshgarh.
Reportedly, around four days ago, a person named Sagar Yadav lent him Rs 19,000 to pay his electricity bill.
The police said that Inder spent Rs 3,000 out of Rs 19,000 and did not pay the bill. According to the complaint made by the victim's father, Deepchand, Sagar visited their home on Monday, collected the remaining Rs. 16,000, and gave Inder a deadline to repay the remaining money as soon as possible.
"Sagar called my son near the village temple on Tuesday evening. At around 7.30 p.m., Sagar called me and stated that Inder had promised to return the money by tomorrow, and if he did not, I would have to give him the money," Deepchand said in his police complaint.
"I agreed, but an hour later, Sagar and three others left my son screaming in pain outside my door. My son told me that Sagar, Azad, Mukesh, and Hitesh from the village beat him with sticks," Deepchand said.
"We took him to a hospital in Pataudi for treatment from where he was referred to civil hospital, Gurugram, where he succumbed late Wednesday night," he added.
Following the complaint, an FIR was filed at the Bilaspur Police Station on Thursday morning under sections 302 (murder) of the ICP and SC/ST Act against Sagar, Azad, Mukesh, and Hitesh.
"We handed over the body to kin after the post-mortem. The accused are absconding but our team is conducting raids to nab them and they will be arrested soon," said Inspector Rahul Dev, SHO, Bilaspur Police Station.
