Police said when they had entered the lane to their house in Buddh Bazar, Suresh was hit from behind by a motorcycle. Two youths, their neighbour Jitender (25) and his friend Satpal, were riding the motorcycle, and had consumed alcohol, said police.

When Suresh shouted at the duo, the two began beating him up, said police. When Savitri tried to intervene, she was also beaten up. Suresh’s mother, Badami, who came out of their house on hearing the brawl, was also beaten up.
