Five boys beat 12-yr-old Dalit to death in Aligarh for touching temple balloons
Agra, Sept 06: A 12-year-old Dalit boy was allegedly beaten to death by five minor boys of the same village for touching the balloons which were part of Janmashtami decorations at a temple at the village.
The incident occurred near a Chamunda temple in Nadroi village in Aligarh on Monday evening.
The victim’s friend, Suraj, who was present at the spot when the suspects allegedly beat the boy, said that the five accused, who were of the same age as the victim, objected when his friend touched the balloons. “When one of the balloons burst, they began beating him mercilessly. One of them held his arms and two held his legs, and the other two punched him repeatedly in the stomach. I was afraid, so I immediately ran to his house to call his mother,” said Suraj.
The victim’s elder cousin, Chandrapal, told TOI that the deceased’s mother, Savitri Devi immediately ran towards the temple and saw her son lying there. “She took him home and informed the village pradhan, Shyam Sunder Upadhyaya, but he did not take the issue seriously. My cousin complained of severe stomach ache at around 2:30 am on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday. His mother took him to the local doctor, but he got no relief. At 4am, we took him to another doctor, who referred us to the district hospital.”
At the Aligarh district hospital, the boy was admitted at 11am on Tuesday and passed away at 12:30 pm. “His mother is a labourer and her husband had passed away eight years ago. Since then, she had been taking care of the family. She has a daughter and three sons. The boy was the youngest in the family.”
An FIR was filed on Tuesday evening against the five boys under section 304 A (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of IPC and sections of the SC/ST Act.
Superintendent of police (SP) crime Ashutosh Dwivedi said that the matter was being investigated. He said though the post mortem had been conducted, the report was yet to come by Wednesday evening.

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
