Tension in Nathnagar
K. Balchand
PATNA: Tension prevailed in Nathnagar police station area of Bhagalpur district on Tuesday following the barbaric assault on a petty thief jointly by the local police and residents a day earlier. The National Human Rights Commission has issued notices to the State government on the issue.
On Monday, Mohammad Aurangzeb alias Salim was caught snatching a gold chain from a woman in front of a temple.
The crowd tied his limbs, pummelled, kicked, thrashed and whipped him with batons and belts.
The arrival of the police made matters worse. ASI L.B. Singh and constable Ramchandra Rai tied the man to their motorbike and dragged him even as he gasped for breath.
Shockwaves
The video clipping aired by several television channels sent shockwaves through the area.
The local people surrounded the police station and threw stones. Police reinforcements were rushed to the spot. Even as the police failed to nab any of the culprits, the locals identified one of them as Navin Modi and thrashed him up on Tuesday.
This led to tension and authorities sought the help of community leaders to broker peace in the area, worst affected in the 1989 riots.
