LUCKNOW: A 28-year-old man was beaten to death in Patelnagar ward of Barahaj police station area in Deoria for objecting to playing of DJ on a mini-truck right outside his house during Janmashtami celebrations on Saturday midnight.
Enraged over the death, locals staged a protest and blocked the main road. Section 144 has been clamped in Barahaj police station area and heavy police force was deployed to maintain peace.
Police said a group led by Pradyuman Madhesia, his son Chhedilal and others were taking out a procession and playing loud DJ on a mini-truck at around 12 am on Sunday.
A local resident, Munnu Jaiswal, came out of his house and requested them to stop playing loud music or move ahead since his pregnant daughter-in-law was feeling unwell, but they did not pay heed.
Jaiswal then dialled UP100, following which a police team arrived and stopped the DJ. "After a while, the group again started playing DJ and some drunk youths started dancing in front of the house of Jaiswal whose younger son Sumit got enraged, came out and lashed out at them. The youths attacked Sumit with sticks and thrashed him badly till he slumped to the ground."
"Sumit's wife Jyoti, sister Khushboo and I rushed to save him, but they thrashed us all," Munnu said in his complaint.
Deoria SP, Shripati Mishra told TOI, "On a complaint lodged by Munnu, an FIR on the charges of murder, rioting, causing hurt, criminal intimidation has been registered against Pradyuman, Chhedilal, Sonu, who have been arrested along with four others."
