In her complaint, the victim’s mother, Mamta Devi, stated, “I was sitting outside our house along with my son and other family members on Friday. At around 6 pm, Harnam Singh, a local resident, came hurtling on a tractor, which he deliberately drove off road, close to the place where we were sitting. We had a narrow escape. My son, Abhay, objected to his rash driving. But an angry Harnam abused us. We did not argue with him as he was drunk. He left after threatening my son of dire consequences.”
She further claimed that the next day, when Abhay was heading to the local market on his bicycle, four men — Harnam’s sons and a nephew — stopped him.
She said that they beat him up and when she rushed there after being informed by the local people, she found her son lying unconscious in the field.
“The men threatened me with dire consequences if we complained against them,” she said.
