A 45-year-old man, with a rope tied around his feet, died after he was dragged by a pick-up truck in Madhya Pradesh’s Neemuch. A group of men, suspecting him to be a thief, had beaten him up badly.
The men had dialled the police helpline number claiming they have got a thief with them. The police, upon reaching the spot, took the severely injured man to a nearby community health centre. He was referred to Neemuch district hospital where he was declared brought dead on arrival.
A video of the tragedy, which took place on Thursday at Jetiya village, has been widely circulated on social media.
The clip shows a sandal-clad man thwacking the adivasi right on the face – with the choicest expletives thrown around like confetti even as the man pleads to let him go.
