The police have registered a murder case against the unidentified assailants and are actively working to locate and apprehend them.
Earlier this year, a six-year-old child lost their life after being dragged under a truck for over two kilometers in Uttar Pradesh.
In a separate incident in Delhi, seven men were arrested for hitting a 20-year-old woman with their SUV on New Year’s Eve and dragging her more than 13 kilometers.
