Employer chews off man’s finger during scuffle over work in Delhi

NEW DELHI: An insurance firm employee allegedly chewed off a finger of his 34-year-old employee in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar. The victim had to undergo a surgery to get his finger reattached.
The accused has been identified as Hemant Siddharth, who allegedly attacked Mohit Kumar, a resident of Ghaziabad.
Kumar alleged that on Thursday, he and Siddharth met in Akshardham in the afternoon related to some official work and travelled to Karol Bagh together in Siddharth’s car. Kumar said that in the evening, when he was ready to leave for home after office hours, Siddharth asked him to come along for some urgent office work.
However, when they reached Mayur Vihar, an argument ensued between them over work. The argument escalated to a violent scuffle inside the car.
“In his complaint, Kumar alleged that Siddharth started abusing him and he slapped him when he resisted. When Kumar tried to cover to face to save himself, Siddharth chewed his finger off. The finger got separated from his hand and fell on the ground,” said a senior police officer. Kumar then managed to escape the car and call the PCR. He was rushed to a hospital where he underwent a surgery to get his finger reattached. The officer said that an FIR has been registered.
