A 37-year-old man in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, dies after an attack in which assailants allegedly trapped his hands in a car’s front windows, dragged him on a moving vehicle for about 1.5 km, and then left him on the road. Police are investigating the incident, and video footage from CCTV cameras is reportedly available.
Multiple outlets identify the victim as Biru Singh Bhadauriya (also spelled Biru Singh Bhadauriya/Bhadauriya). The Times of India and Free Press Journal both describe the attack occurring on Tuesday night as he returned home from a Dussehra fair in Hanumant Vihar, and both say he is taken to hospital where he later dies. Free Press Journal adds that the family alleges he is thrown onto the road and then run over by the vehicle.
As for motive, NDTV and Free Press Journal both say the victim’s family suspects an earlier dispute. Free Press Journal specifies names of alleged prior opponents, while NDTV keeps the suspected dispute more general. Across coverage, the central facts—dragging while hands are trapped, the use of a car, the 1.5 km distance, and the death—are consistently reported.
