According to the victim, his mother had visited a relative’s place in Dadri last week. “On Friday evening, I had come from Bulandshahr to Dadri to receive my mother. On the way to Dadri, an SUV, a black Scorpio, was moving ahead of my scooty. The Scorpio driver suddenly applied a brake and my scooty collided with the vehicle,” said Kumar, who claimed to be a member of a right-wing organisation.

Kumar alleged that there were four persons in the SUV who beat him up. The victim said that the suspects also damaged his mobile phone. He then approached police and filed a case.

Police said that after the incident the victim visited a private hospital for the first aid. Pradeep Tripathi, SHO, Dadri police station, said that a case was registered against the four suspects under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of ₹50).
