Jammu, February 3: Haryana police have arrested three persons who allegedly beat two Central university students from Jammu and Kashmir in Mahendergarh on Friday .
However, the police said that it was a result of an altercation between the two sides.
The report said that Aftab Ahmad and Amjad, students of Central University of Haryana, claimed that they were thrashed by a group of unidentified people on Friday “for no reason”.
The police, however, claimed that a verbal duel took place between the complainants and two locals, after their motorcycles were involved in a minor accident.
The locals then called more people who then allegedly beat them up, the police said,
But Ahmad said, “On Friday we went to a market in Mahendragarh. After offering prayers, when we started our bike, 15 to 20 people came and started beating us for no reason.”
A police official said, “We have identified six people and three of them have been arrested.”
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has urged her Haryana counterpart Manohar Lal Khattar to ensure strict action in this case.
