4 arrested in attempt to kidnap woman and injuring the brother

Four youngsters have been booked by Baghpat police for an alleged attempt to abduct a 23-year-old woman and grievously injuring her brother. The incident occurred in Kashiram colony of Baghpat`s Baraut division.

Some right-wing groups got involved and took the injured man to hospital as the four youngsters belong to a different community.
An FIR has been registered under half a dozen IPC sections. No one has been arrested so far.

In her complaint, the woman stated, "I went out to buy some household products on Tuesday evening when four young men from the same locality first passed objectionable remarks and later tried to abduct me. Somehow, I managed to escape and told my brother. He, too, was brutally thrashed with iron rods and sticks when he confronted them. Later, they threatened us with dire consequences if we complained to police."
Baraut circle officer Alok Singh said, "Both groups are neighbours. An FIR has been filed under IPC sections 147 (rioting), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 354 (assault on woman with intention to outrage her modesty). Efforts are on to nab the culprits."
