In another case of mob lynching, a Muslim man was allegedly attacked by a mob in Kharsawan district of Jharkhand on the suspicion of theft on June 18. He was beaten and thrashed mercilessly for over 18 hours before being handed over to the police. The victim has been identified as 24-year-old Tabrez Ansari.
After hours of torture, he succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital on June 22. Reports say that, after an initial check-up at a local hospital, police sent him to the district's Seraikela jail. When his condition deteriorated, he was taken to the district's Sadar hospital, where he was declared dead.
According to NDTV reports, cellphone videos of the shocking incident are being widely circulated in the area. He was then handed over to the police on Wednesday morning after he fell unconscious and was also forced to chant 'Jai Sri Ram' and 'Jai Hanuman' by the mob, his family alleged.
The relatives of Shams Tabrez said their request for his proper treatment was ignored by the police. They have demanded that action be taken against the police and the mob which beat him up near the border of Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharsawan and East Singhbhum districts, NDTV reports added.
Family members, after refusing to believe he died, were referred to a private hospital in Jamshedpur. Officials in Tata Main Hospital or TMH, where Shams Tabrez was later taken, also said he died. According to the police, Shams Tabrez had "fallen ill" and had died in Tata Main Hospital. An FIR has been filed following a complaint from his relatives and further investigation is underway.
According to a relative, Shams Tabrez was going back home to Seraikela-Kharsawan's Karsova from Jamshedpur, along with some friends on Tuesday. They were attacked by a mob barely 5 km from his home. "There, a motorcycle theft took place and these people were passing by... so the villagers caught them and then beat him up very badly. There were two friends with him who ran away," the relative said. While, Shams Tabrez, was "beaten up the whole night" and then handed over to the police in the morning.
"My elder brother went to see him at the Saraikela police station. But the officers threatened and shooed them away with lathis, saying 'You have come to talk for the thief'. They threatened to put him in jail as well. We were not allowed to meet him," he told news agency ANI. The family said they were not informed when Shams Tabrez was moved to the district hospital. "We think, he died last night," he said to ANI. "We want all the officials at the police station, the jail and all the villagers who beat him up to be charged".
The doctors said the man was in coma when he was brought to Sadar hospital. "According to us, he was deeply comatose. We wanted to take an ECG to be sure, But the family wasn't ready to face reality," Variyal Mardi, a senior doctor, was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
