Lakhimpur Kheri (Uttar Pradesh), Oct 26 (IANS) A day after there were reports of men making videos of an injured girl asking for help in Kannauj, a similar incident has come to light in Lakhimpur Kheri where a 25-year-old man can be seen lying on the road in a pool of blood, writhing in pain and crying for help even as bystanders filmed the dying man.
In another viral clip shared by a social media user, Vinay Verma can be seen gasping for breath even as some bystanders ask him to name his 'killers' while others continue to make videos.
One onlooker can also be heard asking Verma to type the killer's names on a mobile.
Verma, who took out Rs 1 lakh from his shop on Diwali eve, was robbed by unidentified assailants who then slit his throat and left him to die.
The police arrived later and took Verma to a local hospital where he succumbed to the injury.
Doctors said that the man's life could have been saved had he been brought to the hospital in time.
Station House Officer (SHO) at Fardhan police station, Anil Saini, said, "The man was supposed to meet his friend when he was attacked by unidentified miscreants. We are finding out if there are any witnesses to the crime. The victim died before his statement could be recorded. We are questioning a few suspects."
The victim was the only son of his parents and was looking after the family business after the death of his father. He got married two years ago and his wife is four months pregnant.
According to the police, the couple had a love marriage three years ago. But of late, they had been frequently quarreling over domestic issues, particularly after Zara declined to wear a 'burqa' while going out in the neighbourhood.
Meeting a high-level delegation from Saskatchewan which called on him at his residence here, he advocated strong and cordial ties between Punjab and the Canadian province, noting that Punjabis have been playing a vanguard role in the social and economic progress of Canada.
A Vigilance Bureau spokesman said during the ongoing investigation in the alleged corruption for cutting khair trees, issuance of NOCs for commercial establishments, purchase of tree guards worth crores of rupees, etc, circumstantial evidences surfaced on record against Kumar, on the basis of which he was named accused.
The accused was allowed treatment at the Meggaon Hospital of Shivamogga considering his heart ailment on Wednesday. Murugha Sharanaru was arrested following the complaint by two minor girls, who accused him of sexually exploiting them and threatening them.
A senior CBI official said that a case was registered against the Ved Prakash, the SI posted at Police Station Jaffarpur Kalan, District Dwarka, Delhi on a complaint. It was alleged that the accused was demanding Rs 50,000 from the victim for helping with a complaint pending against him besides settling a land dispute in his favour.
The Chief Minister said instead of paddy, the farmer of the state is ready to sow sunflower, maize, and pulses but for that they must get adequate and assured price. He said this will help checking the depleting water table in the state, on one hand, and making agriculture a profitable venture on the other.
