Witness Abducted, Brutally Beaten in Gwalior Ahead of Key Testimony

• Gaurav Yadav, a key witness in the Bunty Bhadoriya attack case, was abducted and brutally beaten by car-borne assailants in Gwalior.
• The incident occurred late at night in Deendayal Nagar, where assailants forcibly took him, assaulted him with belts and sticks, and threatened him not to testify.
• Yadav was stripped, severely beaten, and a shot was fired at him, which he narrowly dodged, with the accused warning him against testifying.
• After an hour of torture, the accused threw him onto a road in Preetam Vihar and fled; Yadav then reported the incident to the police.
• Police have registered a case of attempted murder, kidnapping, and intimidation against five named individuals and 15 others, linking the attack to an old gang rivalry between Bunty Bhadoriya and Hemoo Sikarwar.
