Three people allegedly thrashed a 23-year-old man to death at Kirtartara village in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district over his suspected relationship with a married woman, a senior police officer. The man has been identified as Kripashankar Bind, who worked at a medical store in Mirzapur.
The officer said Bind was on a morning walk on Thursday when the three attacked him up with canes and tried to strangle him with a rope. The assailants left Bind badly injured and fled the scene. Bind was referred to the district hospital, where he was declared dead.
The officer said Bind’s family staged a demonstration at the hospital, demanding the arrest of the accused. A case has been registered against the three accused and one of them has been arrested. A team has been deployed to arrest the remaining two accused.
