According to police, on Wednesday morning, information was received in the Khyala police station that a person was being beaten by local people in B2 Block, Raghubir Nagar following which a police team rushed to the spot. On reaching the spot, the injured, later identified as Balram, a declared ‘Bad Character’ of the area, was rescued and taken to hospital.

In view of the situations, police teams were also roped in from adjoining police stations to ensure the law and order in the area.
