Sangareddy: SC man accused of extramarital affair thrashed; 9 held

Sangareddy police have arrested all the nine accused involved in thrashing SC youth for having an alleged extramarital affair.

They have been sent to 14 days judicial remand.

Identified as Naresh, he is a resident of Chilamamidi in the Sangareddy district. Coming from the SC community, he was beaten up by the husband and relatives of the woman he was having an alleged affair with.

When Naresh's parents and grandmother tried to save him, they too were beaten up.

The incident took place on July 4. A complaint was registered at the Jharasangam police station.

According to the police, Naresh was having an extramarital affair with a woman from a different caste. As per reports, Naresh was spotted outside the woman's house on Sunday morning. The woman's husband then went to his house with other men and began hitting him.

Local Bahujan Samaja Party leader Satish said Naresh has received severe injuries and is currently receiving treatment at the government hospital in Zaheerabad.

"All his medical expenses are being taken care of. We will also ensure that he receives necessary counseling," he said.

A video of Naresh being beaten is being circulated on social media. However, Satish stated that even though those who hit Naresh are from a higher caste, there is no caste factor involved
