As per reports, Muktsar’s Congress councillor Rakesh Chaudhary’s brother Suresh Chaudhary had reached the house of one Meena Rani to demand money that she allegedly owed the councillor. As Meena’s family expressed that they cannot pay back the 23,000 rupees they owed and asked for some days’ time, Suresh Chaudhary and his associates dragged Meena Rani out of her house and started beating her mercilessly.
In one of the viral videos, it is reportedly seen that Meena Rani was dragged as her son watched, crying helplessly. Meena’s elderly mother is seen trying to beg the men and save her daughter, but she was beaten up by Suresh Choudhary’s goons too. Suresh Chaudhary and his goons are seen beating the woman brutally with belts and kicks.
The victim’s mother has informed the police that Suresh Chaudhary and his men had come to her house at around 11 am on Friday. The woman Meena Rani has since been admitted to Muktsar district hospital where she is being treated for bruises and abrasions.
