Tiwari, a native of Banda, Uttar Pradesh, said, “I was going to Sector 50 and had reached near a school in Sector 57, when I parked my motorcycle near the road side to relieve myself. Suddenly, four men accosted me and started kicking me. One of the suspects hit me with a stone and another was carrying a weapon. I could not see them properly and fell unconscious.”
