Drunk man thrashing woman lynched by mob

Written by news2in

Rajkot: A heavily drunk man, who chased a woman shopkeeper and thrashed her with a stick, died allegedly after being beaten up by a group of villagers in a village of Morbi district on Tuesday.
Bharat Parmar (31) and his friend Jagdish Thakore, who are both rickshaw drivers in Navi Dharampur village, went to the provision store of Chandrika Goswami, in an extremely inebriated condition and started forcing her to close the shop.
When Goswami asked them to leave, Bharat and Jagdish started hurling abuses at her.
Things worsened when Bharat picked up a stick and started chasing her.
In a video that went viral, he is seen thrashing her with the stick even as other villagers including women urge Goswami to call the police.
As the video started circulating in the village, some locals went to the houses of the duo and beat them up with iron pipes and other blunt weapons.
“Both were taken to the Morbi Civil Hospital where Bharat again created some ruckus.
He was taken to the police station but as his condition worsened, he was taken back to hospital where he died,” police said.
Jagdish was referred to Rajkot Civil Hospital.
Police booked eight persons for murder following a complaint lodged by Bharat’s wife Manju.
She named Jadav Bharvad, Bechar Bharvad, Saliyo Bharvad, Maylo Koli, Sanjay Koli, Baliyo Koli, Shivo Koli and his son among others for the murder.
Manju has alleged that they killed Bharat over some old rivalry.
