Gurugram, June 14

The police have finally registered an FIR in connection with the March 26 incident, two months after an elderly couple was allegedly thrashed by a group of nine persons in Manesar.

It is alleged that a group of five men and four women allegedly thrashed the two owners of a food zone, Indulgence. The accused also misbehaved with the victims and ransacked the food zone.

It is learnt that after filing a complaint at that time, the Manesar police had refused to register an FIR, prompting the food zone owners to move the court. Subsequently, on the order of Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Jyoti Grover, an FIR was registered against the nine accused on Friday.
