Three beaten up on child-lifting suspicion in Bihar
         Gaya (Bihar), Aug 27 (PTI) Three people were beaten up
by a mob in Bihar's Gaya district on suspicion of being
child-lifters, police said.
         The incident took place near Maher village late on
Sunday when the trio attempted to flee the village after an
alleged illegal hunting session.
         The three persons all in their 30s and residents of
Gaya town caused a flutter in the village by firing a shot,
Tankuppa police station SHO Vikas Chandra said.
         "They were accompanied by a 12-year-old boy from their
locality in Gaya. On seeing agitated villagers rushing towards
them, they panicked and started fleeing in their car. This led
to rumours that the three persons were running away after
abducting the child," Chandra said.
         The officer said the car overturned during the trio
and the child's attempt to flee, causing minor injuries.
         Added to that, the villagers started beating up the
three persons and stopped only when the child said he was
related to them, the SHO said.
         The trio was rushed to a hospital and their condition
is stated to be stable.
         Four dead birds, an airgun and some cartridges were
found in the car, Chandra said.
         He said the seized items have been handed over to the
forest department, who will initiate proceedings against the
trio.
         An FIR has also been booked against unknown persons
for taking law into their hands, he said.
         Gaya SSP Rajeev Mishra said a search is on to identify
and nab the attackers. PTI CORR NAC
