Women dragged for 2 km on car bonnet in Mathura over money dispute

A shocking incident has come to light in Mathura district, where two men dragged a mother and her daughter for approximately 2 km on the bonnet of their car following a dispute over money. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the incident occurred on Monday night near the Vrindavan Parikrama Marg in Panigaon village, under the jurisdiction of the Yamuna Paar police station. The accused, Prem and Punit, along with another associate, reached the house of a person named Pawan and demanded money spent on a court case.

Additional SP (City) Rajiv Kumar Singh stated that when the money was not paid, the accused abused and assaulted those present in the house. Hearing the commotion, about 100 villagers gathered there, causing the accused to flee in their car. At this moment, Pawan's mother, Sheila Devi, and his sister tried to stop the car, but the accused accelerated, and both women ended up on the bonnet of the car. Instead of stopping the vehicle, the accused dragged them for 2 km and eventually dropped them near a petrol pump on Mant Road before fleeing the scene.

After the injured women informed the police, they were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Following the viral circulation of a video of the incident on social media, the police took active measures. According to Circle Officer (Sadar) Varun Mishra, a case of assault and verbal abuse was initially registered based on the victims' complaint, but after reviewing the video evidence, the section for attempted murder was added to the FIR. The police have arrested Prem and Punit and sent them to judicial custody, while a search for their third associate is underway.
