By Express News Service

BHOPAL: The native police on Sunday booked 4 males for allegedly thrashing and stripping a Dalit drum participant over suspicion of being concerned in a theft in Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh.

Aditya, who’s in his mid-twenties, was stripped by the lads to examine his non secular identification, his mom has alleged.

However, it was Aditya who was first arrested by the police over fees of trespassing and theft on the night time of Aug. 2 at Narmada Food Factory in Nimrani Industrial Area. The police booked Aditya on Aug. 3, after which he was despatched to jail. 

After a video exhibiting Aditya getting thrashed went viral on Sunday, the police booked 4 males, recognized as Rambilas Chaudhary, Ritesh Sharma, Babloo Daudwe and Chetan Patil, for legal assault. They are but to be arrested.

The police sub inspector in-charge of the Khaltaka police outpost, Rajendra Baghel, has been suspended by Khargone police superintendent Dharmaveer Singh for not correctly investigating the matter. Sub divisional officer police MS Gavle has been requested to conduct an enquiry in opposition to the suspended sub inspector.

“A case was first lodged against three men, including the one who was handed over to police, on the complaint of the factory’s chowkidar. They were booked for trespassing and theft,” Singh instructed this newspaper.

“However, a video in which the man accused of theft was seen being assaulted by other men went viral, after which a case of criminal assault was lodged against the four men. The in-charge of the concerned police chowki has been suspended and an enquiry has been initiated. The man arrested (who’s seen being assaulted in the video) has been accused in theft cases in the past also,” he added.

However, Aditya’s mom says her son is a small-time drum beater, and that he was framed in a false case.
Singh, nevertheless, mentioned the police probe up to now hasn’t proven that Aditya was stripped to examine his non secular identification.

“One of those accused of assaulting him, hails from the same village. So they knew him quite well,” he mentioned.
