Read MoreVadodara: A 20-year-old dalit man was kidnapped and thrashed by the members of minority community in Godhra on Tuesday night. Akshay Chauhan, a resident of Baharpura area in Godhra was kidnapped by about 15 Muslim community members when he went in Phoolsaiyad Society to meet a girl he was in relationship with.
The police said that they have identified four of the accused but no arrests have been made yet.
The incident occurred when Akshay was sitting on the terrace of the girl's house. "Chauhan said that some Muslim boys came at the girl's house on motorbikes. They began shouting at Akshay and asked him to come down. The girl's family members too were present in the house but the accused broke open the door and came in," said Godhra police inspector, N V Patel.
The accused then began abusing Akshay and made disparaging remarks about his caste, the police said. "They were angry with Chauhan as he kept visiting their area and spent time with the girl. The group thrashed Chauhan and then dragged him out of the girl's house. He was beaten up again and then the accused took him to a field near by, where they thrashed him again," Patel told TOI.
Chauhan told police that the assailants thrashed him with belts and sticks. The police said that some of the accused took out a sword and attacked him. He sustained injuries on his face and back but managed to flee from the spot and reached his house. Chauhan has also registered a case of loot against the accused for taking away Rs 3,000 and a mobile phone from him.
"He was sent to Godhra civil hospital and then admitted to SSG Hospital for further treatment. We have also registered a case under the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocity) Act as the complainant is a Dalit," Patel added.

Read MoreMYSURU: A group of workers from Assam was attacked at Aldur in Chikkamagaluru district by Bajrang Dal activists who thought they were illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Six activists were arrested and the workers told cops they are from Assam, following which the cops are writing a letter to the Assam government for confirmation.
Labourers from the north-east are working in coffee plantations across Chikkamagaluru and Hassan districts, the coffee belt in Karnataka which accounts for over 70% of coffee production in India.
Trouble started around 10pm Monday when a bus carrying over 70 labourers arrived at Aldur, 18km from Chikkamagaluru. The locals were talking to them when some youths accused them of being illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, police said. While they were questioning the labourers, the youths assaulted some of them. The locals informed cops who rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control. One labourer sustained injuries and was treated at the district hospital.
Chikkamagaluru SP Santosh Babu and additional SP Annappa Naik went to the town and questioned the labourers and the youths.
The SP said, "The labourers said they're from various parts of Assam and showed us their identity cards. We'll verify them with the help of the Assam government. The Bajrang Dal activists had asked them to go back and assaulted them. We arrested six activists." The cops booked them under section 307 of the IPC. The SP said the labourers were allowed to go to their estates. Police security was beefed up at Aldur on Tuesday.
Locals said labourers from the north-east, mainly Assam, have been coming in groups to work in coffee estates for the past two years. "They don't demand an advance unlike local labourers and also work for less too," coffee estate owner D M Swamy in Aldur told TOI. "They are basically poor and come here as agri-labourers. It takes around nine months for coffee production and they stay back in the estate," he said. Stay updated on the go with Times of India News App. Click here to download it for your device.RELATED
