AGRA: A 25-year-old man was allegedly partially stripped and badly thrashed after being tied to an electric pole when he was caught “fleeing” from the house of a married woman in Agra’s Sikandara area on Saturday morning.
As videos of the incident surfaced on social media, police swung into action and booked five of the woman’s in-laws’ family under relevant sections of the IPC.
Based on the woman’s complaint, her father-in-law was arrested, said SP (city) Botre Rohan Pramod. The victim was sent for medical treatment, added the SP.
Station house officer of Sikandara police station Kamlesh Singh said the incident took place around 8 am on Saturday. “We have received several videos of the incident and have been verifying them,” said the SHO.
The SHO said the woman’s in-laws were angry with the victim and beat him up badly. When police reached the spot, they found the man tied to an electric pole and the woman sitting near him, added the SHO.
