A National Conference Sarpanch was thrashed by people after he allegedly tried to manhandle a gas dealer when the later denied him a gas cylinder in Khatpora Hajin area of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
Eyewitnesses told CNS that former renegade and National Conference Sarpanch Khatpora Hajin Abdul Rashid Kabuli abused the gas dealer Shakeel Ahmed after he denied him a gas cylinder for the reasons better known to him. “The Sarpanch not only abused my nephew but also manhandled him after which people pounced on him and gave him a body lash,” Mushtaq Ahmed told CNS adding that he had already taken a gas cylinder few days before.
However, a relative of the Sarpanch said that gas dealer denied him cylinder as Kabuli had campaigned for National Conference in the area. “Not only the relatives of gas dealer but certain people attacked NC Sarpanch as a result he suffered serious injuries,” he said and added that Kabuli was shifted to Hospital for treatment.
A police official said that they are investigating the matter and guilty would be booked under law.
