Man beaten to death for Rs 10 by Rao Jaswant Singh


Irked over the refusal of a daily wager to contribute Rs 10 as donation for Navratra celebrations,' a group of men beat him to death in Mangalpura crossing of Jhalawar town on Monday morning.

The deceased, Tej Karan, was a native of Anta town of Baran district and was working as a labourer in Mangalpura area of Jhalawar.

According to the police, Tej Karan was going to work along with his younger brother Bablu when a few persons stopped him and asked to drop cash' in donation box, which they claimed was being collected for Navratra celebrations. "Tej Karan told them that he was a daily wage labourer and did not have enough money to donate for celebrations," said an official.

However, the miscreants refused to listen to his pleadings and asked him to drop atleast Rs 10 to avoid "inconvenience". Karan, however, made it clear that he cannot afford to cough out money due to his poor financial condition.

Irked over the refusal, they punched and kicked him to the extent that he collapsed on the spot. Bablu rushed him to government hospital but he was pronounced dead by the doctors.

On the complaints of Bablu, Kotwali police registered a case against three persons including Kuldeep Yadav and Kuldeep Rajput. Bablu told police that his brother was beaten to death in front of many people but none came to his rescue.

The police said that raids are being conducted at different places to nab the culprits.

Despite repeated efforts Jhalawar superintendent of police Gaurav Srivastava could not be contacted. Other officers are tight-lipped over the issue and were not ready to comment either.
