In a chilling incident in Balasore’s Simulia area, a simple expression of love turned into a brutal tragedy. Subash Sutar was allegedly murdered by the family of a girl he had proposed to via mobile phone.
Upon learning of the proposal, the girl’s father, Bhagwan Kar, reportedly abducted Subash in his car. The youth was then tied to a pole at a local Anganwadi and mercilessly assaulted. Abandoned in critical condition, Subash was rescued by locals and rushed to Bhadrak District Headquarters Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The Simulia police have registered a formal complaint and have already detained one individual for interrogation. This horrific act of vigilantism has sparked outrage in the community, as authorities launch a full investigation into the fatal assault that cut a young life short over a phone call.
