Ahmedabad: Man beaten for complaint over network

AHMEDABAD: While people have a small measure of relief in the internet during the lockdown, a 35-year-old Asarwa man, Satnamsingh Saluja, was beaten up by three employees of a private internet provider on Wednesday, when he complained of his network being disconnected. All three have been arrested.


According to the FIR, Saluja owns a mobile shop in Meghaninagar and had bought an internet connection in January. After two and half months, the connection stopped working. He called the local agency owner, Vishal Patni, to repair it but got no response.

The FIR states that during the lockdown, when Saluja was home, Patni came there with his aides Anil Patni and Umang Vaghela, and asked him about the internet connection.

“When Saluja told them the internet connection was not working for a fortnight, the three started abusing him and then assaulted him.” said inspector D J Chudasama.
