According to reports, on Monday, the accused man found both the boy and the girl in his house and flew into a rage. The accused first beat the boy mercilessly and then tied both his hands and legs and then went on to chop off the minor’s ears.

Tinsukia SP Debojit Deuri said, “The girl’s father himself called the police saying that a boy has been caught while trying to commit theft. When the police questioned the boy about his injuries the entire incident came to light. The man was arrested on Monday night itself.”

After the incident, tension sparked in the entire area and the relatives of the boy are demanding justice.

“If my brother was in a relationship with Chittaranjan Gogoi’s daughter, he should have informed us or informed the villagers about the incident. Why he had taken law into his hand by chopping off my brother’s ears. He has made my brother handicapped for life. We demand strict action against him,” said the brother of the victim.
