A collegiate girl wearing a burkha was talking with a boy near Rangeen Darwaza on the VIP Road on Tuesday at around 3pm. Some people came near them and asked the girl why she was talking to a boy of another religion. She told them that it was none of their business. The aggrieved mob then dragged the girl by her hair and severely thrashed the boy with blows and kicks.
Tension prevailed for some time in this area due to the incident. On receiving the information, the City Chowk police immediately rushed to the spot. However, the thrashed victims and the miscreants had fled from the scene by then.
The police have registered the incident in the police diary. It is the second incident in this year, when the youth of separate religions had been beaten up. Meanwhile, DCP Nitin Bagate and PI Nirmala Pardeshi and her team seized the CCTV camera footage of this area and also implemented Nakabandi to search the victims and the miscreants, but none of them was traced.
