A minor argument over passing a vehicle in Bhurarani, Rudrapur, later turned violent. According to Dainik Jagran, at about 7 pm on November 9 a youth had an argument on Bhurarani Road with the son of a local man, which calmed down at the time. It is alleged that, angered by this, the man went to the youth's house with his two sons and about 15 associates. When the youth was not found at home, the accused allegedly put him and his friend in vehicles from Thandi Sadak, took them to a farmhouse in Hans Vihar and beat them with sticks, iron rods, belts and sharp weapons. The youth's head was split open in two places and a finger on his hand was badly cut. It is also alleged that a doctor was called to the farmhouse to stitch the wounds, after which both were left back at the same spot and threatened with death if they complained. Police have registered an FIR against 15 people including the father and two sons. CO Vibhav Saini said a case has been registered against the named accused and an investigation has begun.
