A volleyball player from Rajasthan was beaten to death in Faridabad over an alleged love affair.
The deceased was identified as Monu (21), a resident of Saidpur village in Bhiwadi, who was in a love affair with a girl from the Tigaon area of Faridabad. The girl is a minor, and her maternal uncle is from Saidpur village, where they met.
The deceased’s family alleged that the girl’s family kidnapped the young man, kept him tied up in the house for three days, starved him and beat him continuously.
Later, they threw him out of the house in a half-dead condition. On Wednesday, the police admitted him to the hospital, where he died during treatment on Friday. An FIR was registered and police detained two suspects.
Narender Kumar, the uncle of the deceased, said Monu had won several state-level medals in volleyball. Monu passed 12th grade this year with 70 percent marks. In April, a case was registered against Monu at the Tigaon police station for kidnapping a minor girl. However, the girl later recovered. A police investigation against Monu has been underway since then.
“On May 17, Monu left home, saying he was going to the Tigaon police station because the police had some questions to ask. During this time, the girl’s family kidnapped Monu from the road. He was tortured from May 17 to May 20. Then, on May 20, they threw him out of the house. That same day, we received information from the police that Monu was injured and was being taken to the hospital for treatment. We immediately reached the hospital where he died on Friday,” said Narender Kumar, uncle of the deceased.
“Based on a complaint from Monu’s family, the police have registered a case under kidnapping and other sections. The entire matter is being investigated. Two suspects were detained and we are questioning them,” said the spokesperson of Faridabad police.
