The Mulund police have booked four people for thrashing a daily wage worker and smearing Surya Prakash Oil, which is known to burn the skin, on his private parts.
According to sources, the assault followed a petty tiff over a poster. During interrogation, the sole accused arrested, identified as Javed Khan, 28, confessed that the gang was inspired by the torture technique employed by cops on hardened criminals. The police have launched a manhunt to nab the other three accused.
The accused - Sajju Malik, Amir Khan, Javed Khan
A Mulund police officer said, "Sajju Malik, a history sheeter and the main accused, had put up a poster with his name in the locality, but he found it torn recently. When he enquired about it, someone told him that a daily wage worker named Nasir had torn the banner. Sajju, along with three others, kidnapped Nasir from the Khindi Pada bus stop at Mulund West and took him into the bushes near Palas Pada. They thrashed Nasir, poured petrol on the wounds and smeared Surya Prakash Oil on his private parts to burn the skin."
The two other accused booked in the case have been identified as Amir Khan and Ankit. "All four have been booked under relevant sections of the IPC for attempt to murder, wrongful confinement and abduction. We believe that Sajju being a history sheeter was aware of the oil torture technique," a senior cop said.
