‘Punishment’ for bike parked, knife in the stomach
This incident is from Banda city of Kotwali area. On Sunday afternoon, a young man named Satish was going to his shop. He wanted to park his bike in front of the shop, but two youths Ayan and Ashad were standing on the way. Satish just said to him, “Brother, give me a way, you have to park the bike.” But hearing this, as if the masculinity of those domineering has been hurt. They erupted and broke down on Satish in public. Grabbed the collar and started beating and then stabbed the stomach with a knife. There was a scream all around. People around ran, but by then it was too late. Satish had fallen on the ground soaked in blood. Somehow his family and locals rushed him to the district hospital, where he is undergoing treatment. According to doctors, his condition is critical but out of danger.
Mobile camera opened humanitarian blog
A video of this dreadful incident has also surfaced, which has now spread like fire on social media. The video clearly shows how Satish is being brutally beaten, and how the domineering knives are stabbed in front of the crowd. This scene is so painful that if anyone sees, its soul shakes. This video has shaken the entire city. People are asking, is this the road safety of ‘New India’? Has it been a crime to ask anyone now?
Police in action, but question continues
The police have arrested both the accused Ayan and Ashd on the basis of video and Tahrir. A case has been registered against him under serious sections of IPC. Banda DSP Rajiv Pratap has said that the investigation of the case is going on and no convict will be spared. But the question arises that is only arrest enough? Shouldn’t any social campaign run against such a mindset?
The shadow of fear and the test of trust on law
After this incident, panic has spread throughout the area. Fear has sat in shopkeepers and common people. They feel that if the knife starts walking on the matter, then how can someone openly go on the road? This is not just beating a young man, but a direct insult to the self-esteem and safety of the common citizen.
Now only a rhetoric is not needed, needed action
Such incidents will not stop only from police action. There is a need for a big social and mental change. As long as there is no fear of law, until the secret of ‘sticks’ keeps going on the streets, innocent people like Satish will continue to eat knives. Now the public will also have to be cautious, and the administration will have to take more drastic steps. This is not just a case, this is a warning for all of us.
