“After thrashing me, they made me drink alcohol and eat meat. The accused also offered to pay me money to keep my mouth shut and not inform the law enforcement authorities,” he informed.
News 18 Jharkhand reported that Chandan had went to a shop at Pakinja Mor, which falls under the jurisdiction of Radhanagar police station, on Saturday night. When he went behind the shop to pee, he found 5 people drinking and consuming cow meat.
This led to a heated argument between the victim and the accused, following which they forced him to consume alcohol and eat beef. Chandan managed to escape but was later chased down by the accused men. He was then stripped naked and thrashed brutally.
