A dispute over land between relatives turned violent as a group of people barged into a house and beat a family with sticks and rods in Maharashtra's Beed. The victim, Vasudev Vikram Andhale, has accused his relatives of physically assaulting him and his family, including his three children - a son and two daughters, one of whom was allegedly poisoned. He has also accused the police of inaction.
Vasudev Vikram Andhale has been in a land dispute with his relatives for nearly two years. He even filed a police case, but was allegedly pressured to withdraw the case.
Andhale's cousins reportedly barged into his house and threatened to kill him for not withdrawing the case. The threat was followed by a violent attack on him and his children.
"They knocked me and my eldest son unconscious. They also knocked one of my daughters unconscious and poisoned the other one," said Andhale.
In a video of the incident, Andhale's girls are seen trying to save their father and brother, but are chased and beaten black and blue.
"Villagers took us to the hospital for treatment. When we came to, we learnt that one of my daughters was poisoned and is battling for her life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)," Andhale said.
He accused the police of making him run from pillar to post for justice, just because the relatives who attacked him were wealthy.
"The police are not listening to us. I have also appealed for justice to the Beed Superintendent of Police. I want justice," he added.
