Mangalore Today News Network

Indore,August 22, 2012:A young man was stabbed to death while resisting attempts by eveteasers to molest a girl accompanying him here.

The man bled to death while the police allegedly frittered away precious time in completing paperwork instead of admitting  him to hospital. Ravi Dangi, in his early 20s,  was stabbed in the Rajendra Nagar locality on Tuesday afternoon after he along with his friend Ankit took on four youths who allegedly passed lewd remarks at the girl and tried to outrage her modesty.

The assailants, two of whom have been identified as Sanju and Arun, mercilessly beat up Ravi and Ankit, both students of B Com, before stabbing Ravi. Bleeding profusely, Ravi was rushed to Rajendra Nagar police station by his friends. His friends and family, including father Suresh Dangi, alleged that Ravi lay bleeding for over an hour as policemen completed formalities.

“My son would have survived if police had brought him to hospital quickly instead of wasting precious time in formalities,” Suresh Dangi said. Senior Superintendent of Police A Sai Manohar said IG, Indore, has ordered a probe into the circumstances of Ravi’s death.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Uma Shankar Gupta said he had sought a detailed report from IG, Indore, and strict action would be taken if it was found that the youth died due to negligence by police.
