JAIPUR: A 25-year-old man was allegedly strangled to death in Rajasthan’s Dausa district for trying to stop three men from applying colour on him ahead of Holi, police said Thursday.
Ashok, Bablu and Kaluram reached a local library to apply colour on Hansraj, who was preparing for competitive exams there, officials said. As Hansraj refused, the trio kicked him and thrashed him with belts, before one of them strangled him to death, additional superintendent of police Dinesh Agarwal said. His family & villagers later staged a protest with his body, blocking a national highway.
They demanded a compensation of Rs 50 lakh to Hansraj’s family, govt job to a family member, & immediate arrest of the accused. The body was removed from the highway after police assurance.
