Attack and injure four officials
- Around 10 Hockey Stick/Iron Rods wielding goons forcibly enter BSES’ Safdurjung Development Area office
- Mercilessly beat and injure 4 BSES officials, two seriously with head injuries
- Three of the accused picked up by the Police
- FIR registered at the local Police station
A group of about 10 iron rod and hockey stick wielding goons forced their way into BSES’ division office in South Delhi’s posh Safdarjung Development Area and brutally assaulted BSES officials, injuring four. Two of them sustained serious head injuries and were later taken to the Safdurjung hospital, from where they were later discharged, after being administered first aid and being kept under observation.
Narrating the sequence of events, a BSES official said “The goons, traveling in two vehicles seemed to have come well prepared. When the guards on duty tried to stop and question them, they without any provocation mercilessly thrashed them. Hearing the commotion, a group of 2-3 BSES meter readers tried to intervene. They too were beaten. In the meantime, BSES officials dialed 100 and within minutes a PCR van arrived. They were subsequently joined by Police personnel from the local Police station. But before the Police could arrive, the hooligans managed to flee. Later, acting on a tip off, three of the accused were later picked up from a nearby park. A FIR has been registered against the three and their unidentified accomplices.”
“The reason for this unqualified assault remains unknown. Perhaps they were goons sent by a power theft accused, who may have been booked for power theft. Investigations into the case are on. This is yet another example that goes to show the trying conditions under which BSES officials work”, said a BSES official.
