Two persons allegedly attacked a local, Dara Grover, who has been vocal against drug trafficking in Krishna Nagari on Saturday night. Following the incident, angry residents staged a protest on Sunday as the police did not taken any concrete action.
Residents said Grover had opposed the alleged drug trade in the area a few days ago. Two youths cornered him late Saturday night and brutally assaulted him with bricks and stones, leaving him critically injured. Councillor Vinay Kumar arrived at the scene and rescued the injured man. He was subsequently rushed to a government hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
Protesting, angry residents alleged that the administration had completely failed in giving protection to people who raised their voice against drug traffickers.
