MBBS student thrashed by BJYM members after car crash

Meerut: Two members of BJP’s youth wing allegedly thrashed a medical college student in Meerut after his friend’s car crashed into their vehicle at a parking lot.The 24-year-old MBBS student of LLRM Medical College alleged that police have not taken any action against Vishal Chaudhary and Manish Sharma -- members of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) -- despite his complaint. Police, meanwhile, claimed that the accused and the victim have struck a compromise.The student -- son of a government doctor in Ghaziabad -- had filed a complaint with the Medical College police station on Monday evening, soon after the attack. The SHO of the police station told TOI that both the accused and the victim were students and a compromise has been struck between them. The victim, on his part, told TOI that he never struck a compromise and the accused didn’t even turn up at the police station. “All I want is action against the accused. Police are not filing the FIR as they are from BJP,” he added.“I got stitches on my head. They also threatened to kill me if I complained. The only mistake my friend made was that he accidently crashed his car into the accused’s vehicle. We apologised too. But they started beating us. While my friend ran to call for help, I got caught and was beaten,” the victim told TOI.“Who knows they will beat someone else tomorrow. They must get punished. They must know that they cannot thrash people on the road just because they have political backing,” he added.Vimal Kumar, district president of BJP, confirmed to TOI that Manish Sharma is in BJP while he denied knowing Vishal Chaudhary. “We will see if our men have done anything wrong with anyone,” Kumar said.When contacted, SP City Vineet Bhatnagar said that he will inquire about the matter.
