Alwar man dies after being ‘ thrashed’ by girl’s parents in Haryana
A RAJASTHAN man was brutally thrashed late on Tuesday night allegedly by the family members of a girl whom he was in a relationship, in Haryana's Rewari district, following which he died later. The deceased was identified as Mohit, 21, a resident of Giglana village in Alwar district. The Rewari police have initiated investigations.
According to preliminary investigations, Mohit had come to the Haryana village to meet the girl, who is a minor according to her family members.
“Mohit had reached the girl's home around midnight and tried to take her out. Her grandparents who were present at home saw him and raised an alarm. The girl’s uncle and other relatives who were sleeping nearby caught hold of Mohit and brutally assaulted him with an iron rod. After about an hour of beating him up, the girl’s uncle called Mohit’s father and asked him to take his son away. Mohit’s father Mukesh and uncle Rajesh soon reached there and took Mohit back on a motorcycle,” a police officer said.
In his complaint lodged with the police, Mohit’s uncle Rajesh said, “We received their ( the girl’s family members’) phone call late last night. They alleged that they had caught Mohit doing something wrong with the girl. They alleged that Mohit was harassing their daughter, repeatedly calling and texting her. They asked us to come and take Mohit back. While we were bringing Mohit back home, he complained of a severe stomach ache. We took him to a hospital but he did not survive.”
“Mohit’s body bore several injury marks around his eye, stomach, feet and chest. We had no clue about his relationship with the girl. We only got to know about it today. We have lodged a complaint against the girl’s family members. We want justice. They have killed our son,” Rajesh said.
