A group of at least six attackers beat a man to death in full public view at Peeru Banda in Salem Tabri. Police have lodged an FIR against the attackers. The case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
A youth who was found dead in a vacant plot of Peeru Banda on Feb 23, was a former addict who might have died of a drug overdose, after a friend of his persuaded him to inject heroin, said police on Tuesday.
Ludhiana police commissioner Kuldeep Singh Chahal said that Kaushik was arrested after a case was registered against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion.
The top cop added that Kaushik was arrested after the local court issued a non-bailable warrant against him. “A team was sent to Uttar Pradesh and he was arrested after informing local police station,” said Chahal.
