Identifying one of his fellows’ as Manzoor Ahmad son of Mohammad Sideeq of Boniyar Baramulla, the server said that “He (Manzoor) was severely thrashed and kicked in his lower abdomen, leaving him crying in utter pain.”
“On seeing his condition, we left the things then and there and removed him to SMHS Srinagar”, he said adding that they have been asked to get the ECG and X-ray on a preferential basis after complications sensed by the doctors here.
“They even didn’t spare the owner of the restaurant, kicking and abusing him”, he alleged.
