Intro:Body:

Thiruvananthapuram: Police arrested five persons for brutally beating a youth to death alleging theft at Thiruvallam here. They are searching for two more in connection with the incident. The incident happened on last Wednesday. Accusing Vandithadam native Ajish of stealing a mobile phone and purse, a group of men attacked him.

The accused, after beating him up at Vandithadam junction, took him to Ajish’s house to trace the money and the phone. There, Ajish had to undergo severe thrashing as the accused could not retrieve the phone or cash. In an effort to make Ajish spill the beans, the accused heated up an iron rod and inflicted burn injuries on Ajish’s body including his genitals.

It is reported that that brutal attack took place while local residents watched on but did not intervene. In a desperate effort to save himself, Ajish ran out of his house to a field nearby where he collapsed. On information from local residents, police came to the spot and found Ajish lying in the field. They rushed him to the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College where he died on Monday. Police arrested and remanded five persons including auto drivers and Ajish’s neighbour. They are searching for one more who is also involved in the case.
