Saharanpur: A 27-year-old Muslim man, Mohd Salman, succumbed to injuries on January 18 after being violently assaulted by villagers in Nawada, Saharanpur district. The incident, which occurred on January 13, was captured on video, showing Salman tied upside down with his legs bound as villagers repeatedly beat him with sticks.
Salman and his companion, Mohammed Rafid, were accused of attempting to rob the house of Raj Kumar in Nawada village. According to Saharanpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Sagar Jain, the villagers caught the two men as they tried to flee after a robbery attempt and subjected them to a brutal beating.
Salman was handed over to the police and received medical treatment but later died. His body was returned to his family after a postmortem examination.

UP: Govt hospital staff booked for sexually assaulting woman in pretext of ultrasound test
Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.
She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
