wandering in Fatehpur Sikari this Sunday. These youths reached the railway
station behind them. They tossed comments over them and subsequently, halting
them on way, they asked for a Selfie in tenacity.
As Clark
forbade youths doing so, the youths began to scuffle; and they attacked over
the foreign tourists by Lathis.
Both of the couple was brutally beaten
first, and later they were stoned. quinton’s head sustained injuries – they
fell on the spot in profuse bleeding.
Merry, his
girl-friend, also sustained injuries. The brutality over the Swiss tourists did
not end here. The crowd was mere bystander there instead to help them and many
of them kept on shooting the videos. Both of them were lying in wounded
condition on roadside, but none helped them.
