Vidisha colonizer Sunil Gupta alleges assault after objecting to drinking in colony, seeks police action

A colonizer in Vidisha, Sunil Gupta, has alleged that he was assaulted after he objected to people drinking inside his colony. Gupta went to the Superintendent of Police office and demanded action against the accused. He also showed police officers a video of the assault.

According to Gupta, Nikhil Yadav was drinking in his colony with two companions. When women of the colony stopped them, the youths allegedly misbehaved with them. The guard who reached the spot, and later Gupta himself, were also treated rudely.

Gupta said he had informed police through Dial-112 at night. The relatives of the accused later came to apologise, and he declined police action at that time. He alleged that the next day he was beaten in the middle of the road.

Gupta also alleged that the accused then went to his office and vandalised it. They also took away about Rs 3.5 lakh kept in the office.

Gupta said he had got an FIR registered on November 5, but even seven days later police had not come to investigate or inspect the spot. He alleged that he and the residents of the colony face a continuing threat. Suspicious vehicles follow him when he leaves his house or the colony. Gupta has held the accused responsible if any untoward incident occurs.

The City Superintendent of Police (CSP) said the video of the assault has come to light and that Gupta's application has been received. Action will be taken on the basis of the video after the matter is investigated. The CSP said the accused will be arrested if found guilty.
