Medak: A youngster was brutally assaulted by his lover’s family members in the Narsapur forest area on Tuesday, though the incident came to light only on Wednesday.

The victim, Dev Singh (24), a resident of a tribal thanda in Hathnoora mandal, was in a relationship with a girl from Bythol Thanda in Kandi mandal of Sangareddy district.

According to the complaint, the girl’s family members, who were strongly opposing the relationship, forced her to make a phone call to Singh on Tuesday. When he arrived at Narsapur, four men from the girl’s family picked him up in a car and drove towards the Chakarimetla temple area through the Narsapur forest.

They allegedly locked the girl inside the car and took Singh deep into the forest, where they stripped him and attacked him with sticks and stones. After he fell unconscious, they fled from the spot.

Singh later regained consciousness and, with the help of passers-by, reached home after receiving first aid at a local hospital. His family members subsequently approached the Narsapur police station and lodged a complaint on Wednesday.

The victim was admitted to a hospital and his condition is stated to be critical. Sub-Inspector Jan Reddy said a case was registered under BNS 109 and investigation is underway.
