Kadu Mustafa, Puttu alias Adrama, Kadmar Abdul Kareem, KP Bail Khader and others thrashed him black and blue and tried to set him ablaze after pouring kerosene on him, Bheemesh said in his complaint.

Noticing it, Bheemesh took the help of a local person and reached his owner’s house. Later, he was admitted to Vittla community hospital and a complaint was lodged at Vittla police station.
