Saif Ali Khan, a Bhatton ka Baas colony resident, was abducted by nearly six people, including the father and cousin brothers of the woman, on Tuesday night.
He was brutally thrashed and dumped in a drain, the officials added.
Police traced the victim and admitted him to a government hospital where he died yesterday morning, an official said.
“The man was involved in a relationship with a woman. When the woman’s family came to know about the affair, they fixed her marriage elsewhere, but the man was trying to make contact with her so that they can elope,” Sub Inspector of Naya Shahar Police Station Bhajan Lal said.
Bikaner, SP, Swai Singh Godara said the family had fixed the woman’s marriage with another man on May 12 in haste. But, Khan kept pursuing the woman, Godara added.
The case cannot be given a communal angle as the woman’s family members were against her marrying outside their caste, the SP added.
A case was registered against seven persons, a police official said.
