Boy tied to Horse, dragged for two km

In a shocking incident a ten-year-old boy was tied to it and dragged for 15 minutes by the Gujjars community members. Incident happened in Jalandhar in Punjab state of India.

The ordeal ended only when the badly injured boy, Etawari Lal, cried in pain and his parents raised an alarm.

The incident took place when the boy, along with his parents, was guarding the field of his landlord and a horse belonging to the Gujjars entered in it for grazing.

The boy chased the animal away following which the owners of the horse tied the boy to the animal and brutally dragged him, according to a complaint registered by the parents.

Etawari Lal said the "horse was grazing and I went to stop it. Some boys from the Gujjar community came and beat me up. They tied me to the horse and dragged me on the ground".

The injured boy was taken to a hospital and a complaint was lodged with the police, SHO Sakkatar Singh said.

However, when the investigation was on, parents of the boy approached him for withdrawal of their complaint, most probably after striking a compromise, Singh said.

The parents have now said that it was an accident and nobody was to be blamed for it.
