Fatehpur: A tragic incident in Gada Ganj, Raebareli, has left the community shocked after Hariom Balmiki, a resident of Fatehpur, was beaten to death by a mob. According to the family, the attackers accused him of theft and subjected him to brutal violence, including severe injuries to his eyes and body.
The Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) immediately responded to the incident. On Monday, APCR district president Advocate Mohammad Tufail, along with a team including Maksud Ahmed, Mohammad Hafeez, and Abdul Samad, met with the victim’s family. They assured full legal support and guidance to pursue justice against the perpetrators.
The family demanded strict action against the attackers, including capital punishment, reflecting their call for accountability and deterrence. APCR emphasized the need for immediate investigation and protection for the victim’s relatives, ensuring that such mob violence does not go unpunished.
This incident highlights the persistent challenges of mob attacks and communal tensions in some regions. Organizations like APCR play a crucial role in providing legal assistance, advocating for victims’ rights, and monitoring police action to uphold the rule of law. Legal intervention in such cases ensures that constitutional protections and human rights are enforced, and that marginalized communities receive justice.
