AGRA: A pregnant woman suffered miscarriage due to the alleged assault by a group of six men at a wedding function following a brawl over DJ music in Etah.
The matter came to the light after the woman identified as Tavasum (26) and her family member reached Etah Nagar Kotwali police station late on Tuesday with her five-month-old foetus in a plastic carry bag to lodge an FIR in this regard.
Her family alleged that a group of six men kicked her in the stomach and assaulted her other relatives.
Based on the written complaint by Tavasum's relatives, nearly 10 men, including six named and identified as Adil Hussain, Sajid Hussain, Abdul Hussain, Farron Hussain, Nassem and Nazir were booked under IPC sections 147 (riot), 148 (rioting with deadly weapon) and 313 (causing miscarriage without woman's consent). All the accused hail from Badaun district and had come to attend wedding ceremony of one Salman, son of Shahid.
“I along with my wife Mehraz, two daughters Sehnaz, Shaheen, son Imran and daughter-in-law Tavasum had went to Kidwai Nagar to attend my nephew Salman’s wedding where the six accused who hail from Badaun were also present.
