When I saw around eight-nine men coming towards me, I started to run but they got hold of me and kept beating me till I fainted. They thought that I was dead and fled,” Noorul stated in his police complaint. He added that he has sustained injuries on his head, legs, arms, nose, eyes, chest and back.
