A man named Mehdi Hassan from Noida of Uttar Pradesh died after he was allegedly stabbed, tied onto a bike and dragged across the village by two men on Saturday night. Police said the attack might be due to the ongoing rivalry between two families.
The two accused were identified as Anuj and Nitin. The miscreants were arrested and are undergoing treatment as the two had allegedly tried to run away during their arrest after snatching police pistol and were injured during the retaliatory action. Reportedly, the two accused brought Mehadi to Baraula (the village in which the incident happened) police station, from where he was spotted by people near by. Though taken to hospital, he succumbed to death, as he was already wounded from several stabs.
