In a barbaric incident, a 17-year-old boy, a British resident of Indian origin was brutally thrashed by 12 boys in the Sushant Lok Society in Gurugram. The incident took place on July 23 when the boy was returning from a birthday party. The group stopped him and asked him to apologise to a particular boy.
The accused shot a video of the incident and later uploaded it on a social media platform. In the video, the victim is having a tiff with another boy whose friends came in and bashed him. There are also alleged reports of involvement of a politician’s son but the police are silent on the issue.
Later, the family of the victim reported the incident to the police. According to the complaint, the boy stopped attending online classes and engaging with his friends. An FIR was registered under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 147 (rioting) of the Indian Penal Code at the Sushant Lok 1 Police Station.
“We have received a complaint from family, who claim their son was returning from a party in the society when attacked. We are questioning the security guard of the society and others who stood witness to the crime. An investigation is underway,” a senior investigator said to Times of India.
