The victim, Amit Kumar of Panjeto village, was attacked at around 11.50 am when he had gone to pick his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter from a private school.

In his police complaint, the victim said he went to the school in his car and when he opened the car’s window two persons came and started beating him with iron rods.
