Mathura Man Abducted After Brutal Assault; Wife Pleads for Justice
A woman in Mathura's Sihora village seeks justice after her husband was allegedly beaten with a pipe and kidnapped by a gang of men.
A desperate search is underway in the Sihora village of Mathura district after a man was allegedly subjected to a violent assault and subsequently kidnapped. For the past four days, the victim has been missing, leaving his wife, Sonia, to navigate a harrowing ordeal of violence and a perceived lack of police urgency.
A Night of Terror and Violence
The incident unfolded around 6 p.m. when the victim was at his home. According to Sonia, four individuals—identified as Navneet, Bhola, Vishnu, and Ravi—called him out of the house. The situation quickly escalated into a nightmare. The accused allegedly took him to a local shop, where they forced him to consume alcohol before launching a brutal physical attack.
The victim was reportedly struck on the head with a pipe during the assault. In a frantic bid for survival, he managed to break free and flee toward his home, even calling the emergency 112 helpline to seek immediate help.
Alleged Abduction While Heading to Police Station
The horror did not end with the initial attack. Sonia claims that after the police arrived at the scene, they merely instructed the family to visit the station. As her husband was making his way toward the police station to report the crime, he was intercepted again.
The victim was allegedly stopped by the same group of accused, beaten once more, and then abducted in a vehicle. The scale of the kidnapping appears to have been significant, with reports suggesting as many as ten other individuals were involved in the abduction.
Evidence and Abandoned Belongings
As the investigation continues, several pieces of evidence have surfaced:
- CCTV Footage: Footage captured during a police investigation in the village reportedly shows segments of the assault and the abduction.
- Abandoned Motorcycle: The victim's motorcycle was discovered abandoned on a roadside in a secluded forest area, far from the village.
- Missing Mobile: While the motorcycle has been located, the victim's mobile phone remains missing, and police are working to recover it.
Family Demands Action Amidst Growing Unrest
The victim's family and local villagers are growing increasingly agitated by the delay in finding him. They have issued a stern warning to the authorities, threatening to siege the Jumnapar police station and launch an indefinite protest if the search is not intensified within the next 12 hours. The community has held both the police and the local administration responsible for any potential harm that may come to the missing man.
Sonia has made a public appeal to the government and the administration, expressing her singular hope for her husband's safe return and demanding swift justice for the violence her family has endured.
Police Response and Ongoing Investigation
Addressing the situation, CO Sadar Varun Mishra stated that an FIR has been officially registered under sections pertaining to kidnapping and assault.
The police have confirmed that the names of two accused individuals have been identified. Authorities claim that an active investigation is underway and they are working alongside villagers to track down and arrest the culprits involved in this violent crime.
