KangarooBalasore: In yet another case of mob vigilantism in Odisha, a youth was stripped naked, tied to a pole and subjected to inhuman torture in Nachinda village under Kamarda police station area in Balasore district on allegation of stealing chicken on Thursday night.

The victim, identified as Satyanarayan Dey of Kharidchak village, underwent the nightmarish ordeal after he reached a chicken vendor’s house in Nachinda village at around 10 pm yesterday night. It is said that the victim consumed liquor at the Kharidchak square along with two of his friends -Gyanendra and Pappu of the same vilage in the evening and planned for a feast later on.

As part of the plan, the trio reached Santosh Patro’s house in the Nachinda village to purchase chicken a few hours later. But a verbal duel erupted between the trio and Santosh over some issue. Santosh allegedly branded Satyanarayan a thief and attacked him. While Gyanendra and Pappu fled the spot, following the incident, Satyanarayan was caught and manhandled by the villagers in Nachinda.

Crossing all limits of brutality, the villagers organised a Kangaroo court late in the night yesterday under the supervision of Nachinda Sarpanch’s husband Subhash Chand. The court ordered a fine of Rs 3 lakh on the victim and brutally tortured him. Satyanarayan was stripped naked and then thrashed brutally. As if that was not enough, the whole incident was recorded on mobile phones by the villagers and posted on social media.

Satyanarayan was released by the villagers only after his father deposited the fine amount to the Nachinda Sarpanch early this morning.
