Jind Police Register Case Against Eight for Brutal Attack on Youth in Safidon
In a shocking incident that has sent ripples of outrage through the community, the Jind police have officially registered a case against eight individuals for their alleged involvement in a vicious assault on a young man. The disturbing episode, which involved firing, physical beating, and an act of extreme humiliation, unfolded behind the New Grain Market at the HUDA ground in Safidon town, located within Jind district.
Details of the Heinous Assault Emerge
According to police reports and the victim's complaint, the attack occurred on the evening of February 16. The victim, a resident of Ward No 3 in Safidon, was reportedly sitting with friends at the HUDA ground when a youth arrived accompanied by seven associates. Without provocation, the group launched a sudden and violent attack on him.
The assailants allegedly opened fire at the victim with the clear intention to kill. In a harrowing close call, the bullet passed perilously close to his ear, narrowly missing him. Following this, the attackers struck him from behind on the head with an iron rod, causing him to fall face down. When he attempted to get up, he was subjected to further brutal assaults.
The complaint details that the victim tried to block the blows with his hands, but the attackers continued to beat him and his friends mercilessly with rods and sticks. In a particularly degrading act, the accused then urinated on the victim's face and issued dire threats, warning him of severe consequences if he ever confronted them again.

Their official statements were recorded by the police on February 19, forming a crucial part of the investigation.
